I made this little little house for some succulents... not sure they really like it though 😕 does anyone have any advice? Thank you 😊

    I can't see any drainage which means they'll be sitting in wet soil which they hate.   Far better to grow them in shallow trays with drainage and also lots of free air movement which they won't get in that deep glass container.

    Have a read thru this info and folow the links - https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?pid=849 

    You could grow plants like maidenhair fern in there as they'd love the humidity.

    Thank you @Obelixx I have replanted them this morning in some terracotta pots! And I think they were a bit under watered as was scared of the whole non drainage thing before! Hopefully they will do better now and I might try to find a bigger shallower pot next time I go to the garden centre!
