habe diese süße Tasse bekommen, weiß aber nicht, welche Pflanze am besten dazu passen würde, kannst du mir bitte welche vorschlagen? Danke im Voraus :))
What is the drainage like on that coffee cup? It looks quite minimal.

Whichever plant you decide, it’s probably a good idea to pop said plant into a little nursery pot, and put that pot into the coffee cup. Should help with drainage, because otherwise your plant’s roots will be likely be sitting in wet for far too long. You could even go a step further and actually add drainage holes to said coffee cup.
It is a solidly adorable cup tho. I hope you find a cute lil thing to plop in there 🫶🏻

Miniature rose in a plastic nursery pot inserted in the mug. The plastic pot will give the drainage it needs. It would be like a mini Alice in Wonderland theme with the roses and white rabbit.

So cute. 💕 I’d consider a delicate fern inserted inside in a plastic pot with drainage holes. (Bonus to put a few small rocks at the bottom of the mug. I have a fern in this environment and it seems to love the full drainage above the water that may collect at the bottom of the solid pot in the rocks.)

Spider plant – like rabbits, they breed fast!

A fern would be cute!
But keep in mind (almost) *any* plant you put in there needs to stay in a plastic pot that has drain holes so you can take it out to water and then put it back in the mug. Otherwise your plant will drown from lack of drainage.

No plant will stay that small. All plants will need pruning and assistance often while living in a very small vessel like this mug. I recommend to use it as a cutting cup or use it for new small plants you bring into your home and once they get too big for the pot, size it up and move the next plant into it!
They also will need drainage if potted into that mug!
I love the idea of a spider plant or something you could just replant the babies of into this pot as it gets older. The pups are pretty small

I would add some rocks at the bottom and a succulant

African violet or succulent.
As others said drainage is needed.

Use diamond drill bit to make a drainage hole.

Thanks to everyone reminding me about root rot. 😀 Unfortunately there’s no hole and I don’t wannna put any hole in it because this mug is really light and fragile and I already broke a corner:'(
I already did my research and decided to use nursery cups to drain the water but still thanks for reminding me^^ and thank you all for all the suggestions!! every one is pretty unique

Add some small rocks in the bottom for the roots to have a better chance, and I think any succulent would look nice in it

zz plants are slow growers, a raven would look pretty sharp in there with the white ceramic. a howarthia would also look pretty cute in there. or maybe an orchid if you’re looking to get fancy with it lol. and i’m a little obsessed with purple passion plants right now so imma add that one in the list too.

String of pearls, the hanging “pearls” would be cute on the cups edge.
I would use appropriate soil for the drainage too. I haven’t been successful with succulents ever.

I love unique planters. I’m using my son’s darth vader mug for my next plant.
