How to make it
Safety
Some succulents are toxic to cats and dogs, so check before giving one to a pet owner.
1Add the pebbles
Put a layer of pebbles in the bottom of the cup. Teacups have no drainage, so this helps.
2Spoon in soil
Add cactus mix until the cup is half full.
3Set the plant in
Ease the succulent out of its pot and set it in the cup.
4Fill around it
Spoon more soil around the plant and press gently.
5Top it off
Sprinkle gravel or moss on top. Brush stray soil off the leaves.
6Water lightly
Give it 1 or 2 tablespoons of water. Then water only every 2 to 3 weeks.
Edie's tipPick a cup in a color that contrasts with the plant, so you can see where the soil ends if your eyesight isn't sharp.
