How to Make a Succulent Dish Garden

A shallow dish filled with soil and planted with several small succulents of different shapes, colors, and textures.

Sedums, also called succulents, are incredibly popular plants with an amazing range of colors, shapes, and textures.

Choosing what to plant can feel overwhelming when you want one of every kind!

The good news is that you can choose several different succulents and plant them together in a wide, shallow dish to create a visually stunning decoration that doesn’t require a lot of care.

My main advice for growing sedums: give them a lot of light and don’t overwater. A good rule of thumb is to water well and then let the soil dry out because they don’t like to be wet.
