Place a potting screen over the holes in a planter of your choice and fill it halfway with succulent soil. It’s important to use succulent soil because it is drier than other potting soils and will provide the drainage the plant needs to thrive.

Add a small amount of water and mix soil to make a slightly damp consistency.

Gently remove the succulents from their containers and place them into your pot. They can be delicate and sometimes fall apart in the transfer, but once they are placed in the new pot and settle in they will recover.

Fill any empty space with more soil, brush remaining soil off pot and decorate with seashells, decorative rock, action figures-whatever floats your boat. It helps to have a happy toddler supervise.

Place anywhere in the shade or partial sun, sit back, relax and prepare to collect some serious compliments.
