I always get so inspired when I go to Terrain and on my last visit I saw single succulents in containers with moss and they just looked so pretty! I knew right away it would be a great way to use vintage glasses, old candles or jars. They would make such a cute hostess gift, or with Valentine’s coming up a great little gift for a friend or family member!

See below for materials and the how to!

materials:

  • jar or container, preferably something you already have lying around or would otherwise be recycled

  • gardening soil

  • succulent

  • moss; I used a mixture of preserved reindeer moss in “natural” and “moss” and preserved spanish moss in “Kelly green”

  • small pebbles/rocks

  • plant mister (I use this one)

steps:

  • place rocks in the bottom of jar

  • add a layer of soil on top

  • place your succulent inside, adding soil around it to stay in place

  • lightly mist with plant mister if soil is dry

  • add your moss, covering the top of the soil

  • enjoy or gift for someone else to enjoy! don’t forget to check soil and mist when needed.
