Teacup Succulent Garden

Today I combined two things I absolutely love...pretty teacups and succulents.
I have quite a few vintage teacups in my collection, and I'm always on the lookout for more. I love to bring them out and use them, and I'm always looking for a new way to display them.
Succulents are about the only plant that I can't kill, which is part of the reason I love them! I love their simplicity, texture, shape, and the different colour combo's are just gorgeous.

Now i'm no expert, so follow my instructions at your own risk! But this is how I made mine:


  • x1 Pretty teacup
  • Selection of succulents
  • Cacti & Succulent Potting Mix if you can find it. I used regular potting mix.
  • Gravel or small stones 


I placed some small stones in the bottom to give the soil some drainage. Succulents like dry soil and you need some drainage to prevent rot.

Then I placed some potting mix on top, and made small holes with a pencil which I then planted each succulent into.

Place more small stones or gravel on top of the soil - this keeps any moisture away from the base of the plant which may cause them to rot. Only give your succulents a little water when the soil feels dry.

Place your teacup succulent garden in a sunny spot and enjoy your pretty, easy-care garden!
