4. Anyone have tea tins? I don’t know about you, but I love drinking tea while I’m studying, and after seeing this, I know I need to head to the store to get some tins! It’s a win win! Fill your tin halfway with cactus soil, then place your plant in the tin. Add a little more dirt to make sure your tin is filled and your plant is not going to shake around. Make sure you keep your plants in a sunny spot and water them weekly!
