Container #20: Succulent Fairy Garden (Joyful Succulents #3)

May 22, 2020 By Cindy Jungman, SDSU Extension Master Gardener

Succulents work great in fairy gardens, allowing the container to be placed in full sun.  I make my fairy gardens “kid friendly,” allowing my grandkids to move the pieces around.

RECIPE:  Among the succulent plants used in this fairy garden are:

  • Echeveria, various varieties
  • Crassula “Princess Pine”
  • Crassula “Candy Cane”
  • Crassula “Tiger Jade”
  • Cotyledon “Happy Young Lady”
  • Haworthia “Zebra Plant”
  • Sedum “Fine Leaf Gold”

TIPS:

  • Select the smallest succulent plants you can find as they will grow considerably.  I look for baby plants among my larger succulents.
  • The smaller plants require a little more water.  Water whenever the soil begins to dry out.
