My herbs from my Seeds & Sorbet Potting Party didn't make it...
My little Hiraldo didn't make it...
But I am giving it one last try.
At work, we have some terrariums filled with succulents by Vernon Caldera, and it made me want to give growing succulents another shot. They are the most low-maintenance plants you could have, so I just have to be sure not to over-water this time.
Off I went to the nursery and bought five little succulents. I planted four together and then one in a mini tea cup. I am in love with them already. I have named them Stuart, Rufus, Dante, Margo and Petunia. Aren't they adorable? :)

Love the little one in the tea cup! They all look very happy in their new home :-)
Oh yes! They are adorable! I have my grandmother's tea set and I have no clue what to do with it. This looks perfect!
yes! they are very adorable. as are you. I know you can do it!!! dont water them much.
i love terrrariums! that reminds me, i do have a vase but need to fill it with succulents! i will do that this summer!
i am terrible about keeping plans alive. i feel so bad for them the minute they enter my house!
Haha, they are so cute! I just killed our future Christmas tree! I like gardening but I don't have a green thumb either.
They are adorable! And I am the Dexter of houseplants, so I get how sad and frustrating it is to have a Black Thumb!
Best of luck to you!

Hahaha I hear ya... I bought a succulent from Ikea recently... it had 5 little things. One died. Within about a week. HOW?! Haha. It was living in an IKEA and I managed to kill part of it once it came home?! baha.
Good luck! I love the planters!
I am no good with plants too. I always wanted to be a green thumb with an amazing balcony veggie garden, but they never seem to survive. I even tried singing them songs!!!
I love their names. Really adorable. I can give life to a seed but sometimes I forgot to water them. You inspire me to give it another shot too.
You can do it!

Absolutely love this post, especially because I can relate. I have never been good with plants and I think they can thank their lucky stars that I quit buying plants years ago. :)
Good luck this time. We kill a lot of plants too.
SO cute. I'm not allowed to have plants, I kill them. Luckily, I'm better with dogs!
I adore these containers, Dionne!
