It's best to start easy, and cacti fit the bill. The miniature cactus planters from TierraSolStudio's Etsy shop are the definition of simple to grow and are oh-so-ADORABLE. Joanna Gaines, house-flipping extraordinaire, agrees. She even boasted about her love for these gems in a recent Instagram story: "When your plant lady probs have reached a whole new level … look at these minis!" These hands-off plants are small enough to perch on a desk corner or to be grouped on a coffee table. Plus, each plant comes with special care instructions, so even those with green-deprived thumbs are given a fair chance. Cacti don't have large root systems, so they can grow in tiny pots for extended periods of time. The folks at TierraSolStudio make each ceramic pot by hand, ensuring that each can hold the appropriate amount of soil and water needed. Give them plenty of natural light and you'll be a wonderful plant parent to these cactus babies. TierraSolStudio This hand-painted container in blush and palm is EVERYTHING.
