First, you need to prepare these materials:

Glass cup

Soil

Sand

Glue (any water-soluble glue will work)

Clean pebbles

And succulents, cuttings

Small tools such as a small spoon, small brushes (makeup and paint brushes work well), tweezers

Before you start, mix 1 part glue and about 5 parts water in a small cup, then add 2 cups of rinsed pebbles and stir thoroughly to make sure all the pebbles are soaked.

Now let's start making it. The steps are as follows:

Step 1: First fill the small glass cup with dry sand.

Step 2: Next, slowly water the cup. I use a spray bottle, which works very well.

Step 3: Then add the soil and dig a hole in it.

Step 4: Loosen the root ball of the succulent, then use chopsticks, a hot pot fork or a small trowel to place the succulent into the soil in the glass cup.

Step 5: After the succulent is secured, cover the soil with sand and fill the remaining gaps in the glass with the glue-and-pebble mixture you just made.

Step 6: Then slowly and carefully pour a little water into the glass cup.

Step 7: Finally, use a brush to gently brush away excess soil and rocks, and wipe away excess glue on the rim. All done!
