Actually, succulents do fine in nondraining containers if not overwatered. The very thing that makes them "succulent" (their ability to store water) means they tolerate being underwatered. So, err on the dry side (dribble a little water at the base of the plant every week or two), and succulents will thrive in teacups, muffin tins and coffee mugs. Hi, Fern — Nice compositions!

I would love to do succulents container next year. Where do you get your succulents? I noticed there aren't much of those in the nursery. You have beautiful succulents arrangements!
