I’m interested in potting a couple 2-3 mini succulents in tins, large vintage coffee mugs etc, and sell them at my trailer rallies. We all love flowers etc in our trailers and on tables near our trailers. Thinking a nice kit or two? Washington State. Great sunny window location. Will buy your soil etc. Do you think if my home falls below 70 degrees during the early spring that I should buy a sunlight lamp, or terrarium? What other advice would you give for someone starting out. I grow these for personal use, and even have some outside, but i have never “repotted” and made gifts etc. My shopping cart is getting full already, and I thought I’d reach out before spending so much. Some of my containers are 4-6 inches in diameter. 4-7" deep.
