Need a good gift idea? Give a succulent in a Tea Cup!
Here is what you need:
-Tea Cups & Saucers (Go to garage sales or antique stores and get them cheap)
-Coffee filter
-Cactus/Succulent potting soil (I got mine from Lowes)
-Succulents (I got mine from Lowes)
-Decorative rocks (I got mine from Walmart)
-Drill bits for glass and tile (I used Bosch Glass & Tile Drill Bit from Home Depot)
Instructions:
1. Lay your tea cup upside down on a towel. Use the glass drill bit to drill a hole in the bottom of the cup. We found it works best to use the drill bits dry, instead of spraying water like some people suggest.
2. Lay a small piece of coffee filter in the bottom of the cup to keep the soil from running out of the hole you just created
3. Place your succulent in the tea cup and fill the extra space with cactus potting soil.
4. Top with decorative rocks.
5. Enjoy your succulent!
You can use pretty much any shape/size pot or bowl that has a hole in the bottom to allow for fast draining:
