How To Make DIY Succulent Kits
Making a succulent DIY kit is easy. You can buy things in bulk and make several kits at once if you need to make quite a few. Here are some things that are fun to add.
- Succulents
- Cactus Soil
- Pebbles
- Miniature Garden Tools
- A Planting Mat
- Care Instructions
Succulents
Succulents can be purchased on Etsy, most home improvement stores like Lowes or Home Depot, and nurseries.
This is my favorite succulent garden center in Morro Bay, California.
Small Pots For Succulents
Terra cotta pots are popular for succulents but you can use any pot that has a drainage hole. I like to choose pots that also come with a matching saucer to catch water and protect furniture easily. Here are some pretty plant pots with drainage holes and matching saucers.
If you use terra cotta inside, be sure to put a cork mat underneath, even if you use a terra cotta saucer.
Miniature Gardening Tools
Here are a few choices I found on Amazon! Some of these can be broken up into a couple of different gifts.
Soil and Pebbles
To make the succulent kits fun and interactive, you can provide soil and let the recipient get their hands dirty and plant their own succulents. The soil and pebbles can be portioned into separate cellophane bags or small plastic containers.
Shipping Succulents
If your succulent is already planted in a pot, you can tape newspaper around the stem and pot to keep the soil inside. Cushion the plant with paper as well. They do pretty well when shipped.
Depending on how far you have to ship them, you may want to consider Priority Mail so they arrive quicker. If you’re shipping across the country, UPS and FedEx Ground can take up to 7 days. USPS priority mail can take 2 – 4 days.
Shipping a live succulent that isn’t potted is also easy. Just cushion and wrap the stems before shipping.
