Mini Succulent Collage

Hello and welcome to this instructable about succulents! Succulents are popular plants due to their beautiful appearance, ease of care, and versatility. In this tutorial, I will guide you through the necessary steps to create a mini succulent collage, from selecting materials to caring for them to keep them healthy and happy.

Did you know? Succulents are plants that store water in their leaves, stems, and roots, which allows them to survive in drought conditions. They are popular for their unique and varied appearance and can be found in a wide variety of colors, shapes, and sizes.

To plant this mini succulent collage, we need a small glass container and small amounts of gravel, sand, potting soil, decorative stones, water, and the plants.

When choosing succulents for your mini collage, make sure to select healthy and strong plants. Look for succulents that have shiny and firm leaves, without spots or signs of disease. It is also important to choose succulents that have varied sizes and textures to create a more interesting look.

First, we clean the glass container well with alcohol, then place two or three teaspoons of gravel at the bottom of the container so that the soil does not compact and the roots can move better.

Next, we put two teaspoons of sand and small stones that resemble the origin of the succulents.

Then, we add the potting soil with worm humus and rice husk so that the soil does not become hard, is more fertile, and can provide nutrients to the mini succulents.

Did you know? Succulents require well-drained soil to grow properly. Gravel and sand will help provide the necessary drainage for succulents to grow properly.

Next, we proceed with planting the plants, taking care not to damage them. We can use tweezers to help us. Make a small hole in the substrate for each succulent and carefully place it in the hole.

Finally, we water the collage by putting a few spoonfuls of water on the soil around the plants, so that the leaves are not damaged. We can repeat the watering every 15 days to prevent the succulents from rotting due to excess water.

Once we have watered the collage, we look for a well-lit spot for this beautiful succulent collage to grace the gardens of our home.

Did you know? Succulents require bright but indirect light to grow and thrive. Providing them with the appropriate amount and type of light is essential for their health and growth, as well as to avoid damaging the leaves and prevent water accumulation in the leaves that can cause rotting.

With these simple steps, you can create a beautiful mini succulent collage that will provide you with beauty and joy. Remember that succulents are resilient and easy to care for, so with a little attention and care, they can thrive and grow happily.
