Succulents
We used: Sansevieria sp. for this project, but you could choose a succulent from a wide array of species, including most Gasterias, Aloes, Euphorbias,Haworthias or trailing varieties like Senecio and Rhipsalis. Ensure that your succulents are well established and have an ample root system.
Materials
Glass vase or container (doesn't require a drainage hole, as we will be using Expanded Clay and a small amount of horticultural charcoal.
Uses
A spectacular indoor glass display that works great on a side table, dining room table or window sill.
Maintenance
Place indoors where it can receive adequate light. Avoid over watering as this container has no drainage. Keep the water level to no higher than a third of the height of the vase. Prune occasionally to encourage new growth. Fertilise with a controlled release fertiliser as directed.
How long will it last?
Succulents planted into containers with no drainage can last for years, provided you take care to not over water them.

How to Assemble

As the vase we are using does not have drainage holes, we are going to use The Expanded Clay Method to create this Succulent ART project. Place a small piece of charcoal at the bottom of the vase - this helps keep the water clean and clear. Rinse the expanded clay balls to get rid of any dirt or dust. Fill your container with the expanded clay. Prepare your succulents by rinsing any soil off of the roots and plant into the expanded clay. Fill the vase with water to one third the height of the container.
