Some people are just born green-thumbed; they know exactly how to make their flora thrive. Then, there are those among us who are less successful when it comes to taking care of leafy chums. If you’re a disaster-prone plant lover, a Sydney-based business might just have a solution for you. Little Succers specialises in the hardiest of house plants, delivering succulents, cacti and terrarium kits across Australia. Their company motto says it all: “Because flowers die.” The Little Succers team has done everything in its power to make sure your purchase doesn’t meet the same fate.
After opening a permanent, pick-and-mix lolly-shop-style terrarium bar in Neutral Bay, Little Succers has come full circle, delivering DIY terrarium kits to doorsteps while IRL events are on hiatus, just like they did in 2020.
“Our terrarium kits make it possible and affordable to make your own little plant eco-system at home," says Little Succers founder Tara Shelton. "They are perfectly portioned with the correct amounts of charcoal, sand, soil and decorative layers and include your succulents and decorations to style it your way. We have found people have been ordering them for all ages, such as a teenage birthday present or they could be an ideal gift for a nursing home resident or someone living on their own."
As many of us work from home, making our living spaces as pleasant as possible has become more important than ever. And what’s true for humans is also true for succulents, it seems. So, why not tick both boxes by ordering one of Little Succers’ DIY terrarium kits? In addition to your plants, you’ll receive your choice of container, which ranges from beautiful glass bowls to classy glazed cubes, as well as soil, sand, charcoal, and your choice of decorative flourishes, including coloured pebbles and tiny garden ornaments. You'll not only end up with a personalised indoor garden to brighten your pad, but also a swish new home for your little green friends.
You can shop for kits on the website, prices range from $85-$135. Little Succers has an offer of $25 off all terrarium kits with the code "LOCKDOWNSTILLSUCCS".
