Mini Houseplants Are The Ultimate Stress Reliever For Your Home

It’s the trend we never knew we needed - by Chelsea Tromans
  • 26 Mar 2020

Really, really tiny things are cute. It’s just a fact. Teacup pigs, those bitty hedgehogs, and this new houseplant trend: mini succulents.

Watch Below: Botanical Bright's Becca Shares Her Mini Succulent Tutorial

Barely bigger than your thumbnail and potted in the most adorable little vessels you can find, they are taking over Instagram and we’ve fallen hard for them. 

And yes, they’re real plants.

A 'lil teapot filled with tiny succulents for you! 💕✨

The mini succulent influencer (yep, this is now a thing) leading the way is Botanical Bright - an Instagram account by artist Becca Stevens.

Just one look at her super-cute feed and you’ll be brushing up on your mini succulent growing know-how.

Just be warned, they take a bit of TLC and patience to grow! These bitty plants are actually propagated from succulent leaves. These ones grown by Botanical Bright took seven months.

With these earrings you will have to take your lunch outdoors or take a walk in the park as your micro plants will need adequate light everyday 🌿🌱 this is just one of the many benefits of wearing your plants 🤗 double tap and tag someone who needs these in their life 😘 #repost #pottery #etsysuccessstory #succulentsonly #succulentcrazy #ceramics #ceramic #clay #succulentsofinstagram #christmasgifts #handmade #etsysellersofinstagram #plantsmakepeoplehappy #minimalist #etsyorganizedneatly #unique #plantearrings #decor #modern #succulents #potter #potterymaking #plants #sculpture #artsogram #artistic #justartspiration #photooftheday #love #miniature

We grow each baby plant, handcraft each tiny planter with little tiny tools, have spent years researching and experimenting to create the perfect environment for each plant in uniquely fired absorbent pots that keep the plant alive, and we provide exact amounts of water depending on the size of the plant. We could not be happier than when we find forever homes for these little babies. When you shop small we celebrate every single order and send all of our gratitude to you. It makes a big difference to us and we could not be more grateful to be a part of you sending love someone else's way or getting something special for yourself. Swipe to see *a few* of the different minis we have in the shop and where they've been featured! Find them all (and their names!) through the shop link in our bio! xo, Seana + Yair

Or just make like us and follow #minisucculents for some tiny therapy.
