or how to keep succulents happy in the cosy season?

Most of my pots are unique, repurposed finds, which means they often don’t have drainage holes. Each one is carefully prepared with a base layer of LECA, and the soil is enriched with charcoal, grit, and perlite to keep roots healthy and reduce the risk of soggy soil.

Here’s how to care for your succulents over the coming months:

☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal, especially near a south or east-facing window. If your home feels a bit dim in winter, a full-spectrum grow light can work wonders.

💧 Watering: Water only when the soil is completely dry, usually every 3–4 weeks in winter. Many succulents go partly dormant, so they’ll need just the tiniest sip until spring.

🌱 Fertiliser: None needed for now! They’ve already had a little boost. Start light feeding again in spring when you see fresh growth.

✂️ Growth & Pruning: As they grow, succulents can be gently pruned back. Cuttings can be rooted and turned into new little plants, a lovely way to grow your collection. Over time they’ll outgrow their pots, and that’s the perfect moment to replant them into containers with proper drainage so they can continue to thrive. Arrangements created in pots without drainage holes are best treated as temporary displays.

I love giving second-hand pottery a new purpose, but if you prefer a brand-new pot, I’ve got those too, each one chosen with care so your plants look beautiful and feel at home.
