Cactus Plants

Cacti are meant to be a good luck symbol for a new home, but they also look great around any home…especially in a Duerr’s jar!

You’ll need:

• Duerr’s jar(s)
• Potted mini cactus
• Loose gravel, chippings or decorative stones (you’ll find these in garden centres)
• A spoon

Here’s how to create your own tropical display:

Empty out and clean your Duerr’s jar so it’s ready to house your prickly new pal

Carefully remove your cactus from the plastic pot it arrived in, but keep the soil around the bottom.

Pour half an inch height of gravel into the bottom of the jar to make a base for the cactus

Drop the cactus into the pot and wedge it into the gravel (watch your fingers!) until it can stand upright

Then simply spoon more gravel into the jar to steady the cactus and cover the soil.
