Select and pot a variety of succulents together in a shared container, tray, or terrarium, experimenting with colour, shape, and texture to create a living display that grows and changes over time.

The Essentials

Steps

  • Choose a shallow container or tray with drainage holes and fill it with well-draining cactus/succulent soil.
  • Gently remove each succulent from its nursery pot, loosening the roots without breaking them.
  • Plan the layout first, placing taller varieties toward the back or center and trailing ones near the edges.
  • Nestle each plant into the soil, leaving small gaps between them for growth.
  • Top-dress with decorative pebbles or sand around the base to finish the look.
  • Water lightly right after planting, then let the soil dry out fully before watering again.

Tips

  • Group succulents with similar light and water needs together so none get overwatered or starved for sun.
  • Use a chopstick or small stick to tuck soil between tight spots without damaging leaves.
  • Rotate the container occasionally so all plants get even light exposure.
  • Wait a week before the first watering if any roots were trimmed, to let cuts callus over.
