If only succulents could stay in that most beautiful state forever, but that most beautiful look fades after just a few months.

Is there any way to hold onto it? According to the laws of nature, every living thing has only a fleeting moment of glory, and keeping that state forever is nearly impossible.

So we need to borrow the wisdom of others! Clay succulents appeared on the scene and became hugely popular.

Why? Because...

They don't need light

They don't need water

And they certainly don't need care

They still look just as beautiful

For people who want to grow succulents but whose conditions aren't suitable, clay succulents are just perfect.

Their appearance - delicate and cute, in sunlight not the least bit inferior to real succulents, though of course the colors are definitely not as rich as the real thing.

nicori highly recommends this kind of plant that needs no care and never withers. Nicori first started making clay succulents because the light at home was poor and the succulents never grew well; if they could grow well, she wouldn't have made fake succulents.

Let's take a look at nicori's "succulents"~

Echeveria 'Derluerg' (Jingye), which doesn't fear black rot even in summer~

The round, plump Graptopetalum mendozae (Wanye Jiquili) is truly adorable - this pink flesh color will stay forever.

The pink of Saussurea involucrata (Snow Lotus) - touch it however you like, it won't fade no matter how much you touch it.

White as jade, with pink leaf tips, the shy, chubby look of Echeveria 'White Peony' is also very likable.

The most exquisite grouped-pot series, truly with a 1+1>2 effect, has a faint sheen in the sunlight, as if it were alive.

Actually, nicori is already a grandmother of two children. So being young isn't about how old you are, but about your mindset; people who truly appreciate life can enjoy happiness anytime and anywhere.

I want one so badly! You can mix and match freely, with no worries about etiolation, fading or pests.

So how are these beautiful clay succulents made?

1. Prepare materials: resin clay, pigment, toothpicks, a pen, adhesive,a pair of lovely hands~

2. According to the color of the succulent being made, add pigment to the clay and mix, cut into several equal portions (suitable for Sedum japonicum 'Tokyo Sun', Sedum pachyphyllum 'Minor' etc.), color again based on the colors of the succulent's state, pinch into suitable shapes and then assemble

4. Wait for the clay to dry

5. Once dry, put it into a flowerpot

6. How to make the flowerpot: take a flowerpot and stuff small round balls into it, press out the shape with a pen, remove after drying, fill in brown clay, and use a pen to make the corresponding shape on the surface (optional)

Detailed step-by-step illustrations:

1. After coloring, divide into equal portions

2. Assemble (some succulents need to be colored again)

3. Make the flowerpot and combine

Detailed technique

Clay succulents require a bit of sensitivity to color

After looking up information on the clay combination part, combining resin clay and light clay gives a more glossy look and also appears very soft

During the drying process the clay shrinks by a certain proportion and the color deepens; you need to adjust the color several times, and the greater the thickness, the slower it dries

If you want to make a grouped pot, it takes a lot of energy and requires slow exploration

The happiness succulents bring is not just an enjoyment of life, but also an enjoyment of beauty.
