We are all passing more time at home because of the Covid-19 and you can want to beautify the interior design of your home. One of the best ways for this is obtaining a plant. In this sense, buying a plant is an option. However, you can also think to plant your own plant. In the beginning, It is normal if you have hesitations about it. Therefore, I wanted to explain how you can do it on your own at home and mentioned the specific points you need to be careful about.
First, I start with an empty shelf. I put it to the place where I will work. Since I will use soil, creating a mess is very possible. Therefore, I highly suggest you to use a protective material. You can also prefer a newspaper, plastic bag or an old sheet.

Now, I will put the soil I bought into the pot. For the soil, the significant point is since I will use a small pot, the quality of the soil is getting more important. Because, the plant needs to reach beneficial nutritions even with a small amount of soil. In this case, you can see that the soil does not consist of the soil itself. It has other components such as gravel, stones, sand, silt, and clay. Therefore, If you will also use a small pot, try to use a quality soil as much as possible. 
Another essential point for the soil is, since It will be used for the first time, It can has some bumps and is not smooth as wanted.

Now I will choose the plant I will plant. I will use one of the leaf which has roots. In this way, I will reproduce it. However, you can also plant a seed! 
In this case, you need to put the roots/seeds 1/2 of the filled soil. This deepening would be enough for them to grow. In order to measure the depth, you can use your finger and get an approximate answer.

Before I finish, I want to do some specializations. For this, I prefer to use some rocks I found. 
I put the rocks. Now, I will add one more step to make it better to use for the decoration. 
I draw a cat figure to the glass pot. If you want this figure to stay longer, try to use a durable pen. I use a shirt marker. Play 
Lastly, I put it on my desk. From now on, I will be able to observe it even when I’m very busy with my schedule.
Lastly, I want to give some recommendations about the things I used:
🌵 The pot I used is from CactusBazaar. You can prefer to buy a cactus plant or only the pot. They have a very cute Instagram page. You can check their account: @cactusbazaar
