Margee Radier of Succulent Pot Gardens was the one who came up with the concept for this years mini-tree. Although a glass jar lid may look like ice, it can be used in any container. A shallow, small container will make the cutting look large and tree-like. As the flower pot is already brimming, tight-packed arrangements will have a more finished appearance than their spaced-out counterparts. You want it to look as if succulents were living on coral reefs. Succulents love fresh air and breezes. This plant thrives in the sun so make sure to place it at least one foot from your window.
