This is a super cute & easy hostess gift to create that honestly takes less than 5 minutes. I’ve been doing a little thrift store shopping lately. There’s a new Goodwill that just opened up just minutes from our house and I had to check it out. I love to scavenge these places for little treasures, etc. You just don’t know what you might find when you go thrifting. This time was no exception. I found this adorable sunflower tea cup set for about $1.50 and new exactly what I would do with it. I had some potted succulents at home just waiting to be planted and here was my chance to use one of them. With the succulent and the tea cup, I spent a total of $5.00. Can’t beat that and especially how cute this tea cup is.

Q: Can You Plant a Succulent in a Tea Cup?

You could also add more pebbles to the top or use another organic material, like the coir I have, for an additional effect. Simply water them sparingly and be prepared to repot them when they outgrow the teacup—there’s no need to drill a hole in it.
Q: What Is Best for Succulents?
A: Because their roots can rot if they are left wet for an extended period of time, succulents grow best in bright light and extremely well-drained soil. Never leave succulents standing in water in trays or pots, and if the soil is already moist, don’t water them; instead, let them dry out in between applications.
