Step 1: Use a damp paper towel to clean your mason jar if there is anything in the inside or the outside.

Step 2: Add ¼ cup of sand and shake the jar to make the sand even. Then add your rocks, dropping them in the jar on top of the sand, one at a time, until there is an obvious visible layer around the jar. Add the 1 ½ cup soil on top. It should be able to cover the rock layer.

Step 3: Using a plastic spoon, carefully remove succulent from the box. Start off by gently pushing the spoon into the pot, and then run the spoon around the perimeter of the succulent to loosen it.

Step 4: Take the spoon again, but this time, push it into the soil and swirl the soil to create a well that can fit the length of the succulent and its root. Once you have made it deep enough, gently place the succulent in. Add additional soil if the succulent cannot go in all the way.

Step 5: Take the outer ring of your mason jar cap, and twist it around the top of the jar until it is in place.
