Planting Succulents in Vintage Teacups

I started with these pretty little teacups that I found at my favorite thrift shop in Concord.  They had a few hairline cracks in them and they did come with saucers that I forgot to take a picture of.  The first time I saw them they were priced at $10 for the set.  I passed them by.  The next week I went on the 75% off day and got all four cups and saucers for $2.50!

I started with a little gravel at the bottom of each cup.  Added a little potting mix, the succulent, and then more mix to fill in around it.

I pressed it in tight with my hand and gave them a little water.  I’ll have to be careful not to overwater since there aren’t any holes in the bottoms of the cups.

They’re currently in the kitchen window above the sink.  Can you tell I love green?  Maybe I need to get an accent color in there…lol…

I found lots more succulent ideas on Pinterest.  Follow me!
