Windowsill Succulents

by Michelle Lindsey Hutchins

I found these adorable succulents at Walmart for $2.50 per container. I knew there were multiple succulents in each container and figured I could separate them out and put them into the spring-themed containers I made from ramekins and Dollar Tree supplies.

The only items you'll need are some small containers (like these decorated ramekins), mini succulents, and small rocks/pebbles.

Make sure you have a work space that you can easily clean, since it'll be nearly impossible not to spill any dirt. I've found that one of the million plastic grocery bags stuffed under your kitchen sink works really well.

First, line the bottom of each ramekin with small rocks. I had these on hand from the Dollar Tree. You'll need these for drainage; succulents don't like sitting in water, and you don't want them to die from root rot.

Gently remove the succulents from their containers and loosen the dirt around the root ball with your fingers. Shake the plants gently to remove as much dirt as you can from the roots.

Click through to my blog post with the rest of the steps, along with a post on how to decorate those pretty ramekins! It's a couple of super easy projects.
