The Transformation

The broken pot is filled with succulent potting mix, and the smaller pieces are placed in, creating a small terraces.
Different colorful succulents are planted around each terrace, giving the arrangement a whimsical touch.
To finish off the succulent display, it is topped with a figurine of an arched wooden door with a tiny white mouse knocking.
The final result is a scene straight out of a children's book or a fairy tale.
