I have a fun tutorial on growing succulents indoors, I love how versatile succulents are and so far I have yet to kill one!  I will say that succulents tend to grow best outdoors however, I have had pretty good luck growing them indoors as well.

I have been grabbing succulents off my brothers property for a few year now. I basically snip off stems and plant them in a planting area in our back yard. About a year later 1 little stem turns into a large beuatiful plant and I transplant them.  I also take the stems and make beautiful garden containers with them.  As they grow too big for the pots I simply replant, giveaway or transplant into the ground.  Easy peasy!

Things Needed

Succulents

Organic Succulent and Cactus Soil

Ceramic Planter Pots

Gravel

Decorative pebbles (optional)

Great tips on growing Succulents

I found my pots at the dollar store and placed a small layer of gravel at the bottom. The gravel will provide the drainage if your pot does not have a hole in the bottom.Start with pebbles on the bottom of the pot when starting a succulent garden indoors

Fill half the pot with cacti/succulent soil, this soil helps with draining.tutorial on growing succulents indoors

Start adding the clipping, I like to mix a few taller succulents in with the smaller ones.   Take trimmings from other succulents and plant them in a pot for a indoor succulent garden!

I filled my pots pretty full with the succulents, it better to space them apart so that a maximum amount of sunlight can reach them.  As they grow a little bigger I’ll be pulling some of the plants out.  Step by step tutorial on growing succulents indoors

Tips on growing succulents indoors:

*Don’t overwater your plants, I water about once every other week.  If they are looking a little dry, I spritz them.

*They need about 6 hours of sunlight, try to keep them near a bright window.

*Succulents should be potted in a fast-draining mixture that’s designed for cacti and succulents.

*During the summer growing season, fertilizer as you would with other houseplants.

You can see how I created my succulent basket below, hope you will give it a try!  Succulents can withstand dry conditions, so hopefully if you are a newbie at indoor house plants you will have a great experience!  Thanks so much for stopping in today, have a great weekend!

  1. Thanks so much for this Kristin – I had no idea you could grow them indoors – they look so pretty and would be perfect in a 4 season area like Montreal – to keep a bit of summer longer !

  2. this looks great and super easy. I’ll definitely need to give it a try – these seem ideal for me since they don’t require a lot of water ;). Found you through #creativegallery linkup.
