  • All right we're here my kitchen, and as you can see

  • we have a a small kitchen table, so if you've got limited space

  • this is a great project we can do right here on the kitchen table. Step one's gonna be

  • to pick a cool container. So we're talking about kitchen, we got a

  • muffin tin that we just poked some holes into. Or a banana bread loaf pan, you cam use that.

  • We found some cool pieces from grinder that can be used

  • and these already have holes in them, good drainage, you just a

  • container to collect the water when you water.

  • Step 2 is going to be to find good soil. So we've got here

  • our Miracle-Gro soil that's blended specifically for succulents.

  • Then we're just going to pull our succulents out of their pots, get them into their containers,

  • and make sure they get the right care and maintenance.

  • Let's get started planting our succulent garden.

  • Okay, so step 1 we've picked a really cool container that we're going to use.

  • For Step 2 using a

  • good soil and you're putting in about, let's say

  • halfway up on the pot in your container.

  • Fill it up as much as you think you need based on how

  • deep your plant is when it's coming out of his original container.

  • For Step 3,

  • we're going to pull our succulents out of their original container,

  • we're gonna loosen up the roots a bit, waking up the roots

  • and tucking them into your soil.

  • Once you've got the right height

  • and the right amount of soil, just press them down into the container

  • so that they really stable.

  • Okay, so we planted a couple of straightforward versions in our pie tins, but this is something a little different.

  • These guys are actually quite decorative, so we want to raise them up

  • in their drainage containers, so we can see some that decorative design.

  • And we're just going to use either a pebble, or marble, or in this case

  • beach glass. We're just going to line the base of the

  • tin with this just to give them some height. You can raise these guys as high as you want

  • in the container, but we're gonna try to keep them up high so you can really see the decorative nature.

  • You can use marbles, glass chunks, anything that works for you.

  • Gardenieres are often focused on sustainability, so we're really excited to be able to use beach glass

  • because we're recycling glass, this is just broken

  • up bottles that had been weathered by sand and wind and rain.

  • So we've raised them up so you can see the trim in here,

  • and then you have the choice of either filling in with more of

  • the same or you can do something different like pebbles.

  • And there we have a nice decorative nature for a couple of very stunning succulents and

  • we can put this anywhere around the house and even take it outside.

  • So here we have our succulent gardens. We're so excited about

  • the textures, and the colors, you can mix and match these plants.

  • You can put similar one together, or different colors together,

  • and different textures together. You really have unlimited possibilities here.

  • We're also going to make sure that these guys get on a regular feeding schedule in about a month.

  • So, for projects like this one and so many more,
