I would take a ceramic dish the size of a pie pan with sides. Fill the plate with pebbles. Start adding small cactus. You can add cactus that blooms different times of the year and some small exotic ones. Make sure you leave room for the cactus to grow. Ask your nursery what they recommend to start.

A mini cactus garden is an excellent choice for apartment dwellers. Start by preparing a soil mix made of half soil and half sand. Select a shallow clay pot and fill halfway. Place the cacti in the sandy soil and fill to cover the roots.

Landscaping is very key to this! It would look nice with some ceramic dishes and towers, maybe even a bird feeder. Use some rocks and pebbles and lay out a nice path through your cactus garden.
