DIY Succulent Favors

Guests will love these fresh and modern favors! (expert advice)

DIY Succulent Favors article photo

Your guests will love these fresh and modern favors -- that they can keep forever! We filled tiny zinc pots with succulents and wrote the name of each guest on the pot with white paint. Eventually, your guests will be able to re-pot these or plant the succulents in a garden as they grow larger. The paint is easily removed with a damp cloth so the container can be re-used. It's a perfect way to show your guests that you love them and also love the earth! Enjoy!

Here's what you will need:

4" pot of succulents (will fill about 8, 3" containers)
3" round zinc containers
pea gravel or small rocks
white paint pen



1. Write the name of each guest on the zinc pots.
2. Divide succulents from 4" pots. Be sure to grab their roots when you do this.
3. Add 1 layer of small rocks or pea gravel to the bottom of the zinc pot.
4. Add a handful of soil.
5. Add two little succulents and plant them with additional soil into the pot.
6. Add rocks on top.

I REALLY WANT TO USE THIS IDEA, BUT IM HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING THE ZINC CONTAINERS.  WHERE DID YOU GET THEM?

So cute!  These are especially great for people here in Texas where succulents can live in the freakishly hot climate.
