For this project, you will need:
1 MUG PER TEACHER (Evelyn Mug)
SOIL MADE FOR SUCCULENTS (Cactus and Succulent Soil Mix)
A VARIETY OF SUCCULENTS, WE USED 4 (Unique Succulent Collection)
HAND SHOVEL
WATER
Start by filling your mug with soil, leaving a little room at the top.
Using the below guide, place the tallest succulent in the #1 spot.
Next, place a succulent with volume in spot #2. I like to add soil in as I go.
Then, add a succulent that has draping stems or a medium volume to spot #3. Once again, filling in soil as you go.
After that, add your statement succulent or a rosette-style succulent to the #4 spot. Fill in any holes with additional soil.
Finally, give your succulents a drink of water. Water them about once every two weeks and keep them in a sunny spot with indirect light.
Voila you're done! Keep scrolling for printable card to pair with your succulent mug.
For the printable card, you will need:
PRINTER
