Find a variety of thrifted containers: The container you choose can make a big impact on the overall look of your succulent arrangement. Consider using terracotta pots, colorful ceramic containers, or even repurposed containers like teacups or mason jars. You never know what one-of-a-kind containers are waiting for you at your local Goodwill.

Then, add interesting rocks on top for visual appeal and to help with the moisture levels. 

Now that you’ve created your own unique succulent collection for your home, consider grouping them together on a shelf or windowsill or even hanging them in a macrame hanger to create a stunning focal point in your home. 

Finally, make sure you’re properly caring for your succulent arrangement. Succulents require bright, indirect light and should be watered only when the soil is completely dry. With proper care, your succulent arrangement will thrive and add beauty to your home for years to come.
