I bought all the supplies at ikea (www.ikea.com) for under $12.00
I bought this Jar ( which I wish I went with a jar with a wider opening) especially dealing with cacti! OUCH!
The cacti and succulents were only 2.99
I used the potting soil that was already existing in the pot.
First I made a layer of the rocks (the ugly rocks) for the first layer
Then I removed the plants from their plastic pots and transferred them into my glass jar
I used a paper towel to transfer for them. The needles didn't hurt that bad unless they went under your finger nail.
Once cacti/succulents were in position I moved the soil to keep them in place. sprinkled a little bit of water and IM DONE!
Mine are kind of boring I'm going to try and find some cute small flowers to give it some color.
*forgive the photos. With the cut colored glass I just sprinkled it on top of the soil gives it nest look and www.ikea.com has about 6 different colors to chose from.
The best part of about these plants is they don't require much water (hardly any) so its darn near impossible for me to kill them while I abandon them for weeks on end.
The perfect plant for us traveling Gypsy's
