Living succulent wreath tutorial

Hi!

It was only this summer that I started noticing succulent plants, and immediately felt in love with them, there are so many varieties and colours, the internet and Pinterest are full of pretty arrangements and lovely ideas, one of my favourites  has to be the wreath... and it's so easy to maintain! after hanging it on the wall, you will only need to spray it with water in winter, and when the weather gets hot,  sink it in a container full of water once a week or when it starts to look a bit dry...

started it by collecting loads of different succulent plants, and when I say loads, I mean lots of them...it actually depends on the size of the wreath, but the more plants you can fit on it, the better it looks,
the ring below was done by my mum with wicker shaped into a circle, covered with moss and tied up with a cord, but you can buy the ring floral foam oasis in any flower shop, or the internet.

 the succulent plants had been cut a few days before, so the stem was a bit dry, by doing this, we will help the plants take roots quicker once we've watered them

pinch the oasis with a long stick and move it in circles, I used the end of a paint brush

 pop in the first stem

 make sure you place them as deep as possible into the oasis, this is going to be hanged on the wall so don't want plants falling down from the wreath

 once finished, put the wreath in a container with water, let it soak for a couple of minutes and leave it for a week on a flat surface, this will allow the stems to start taking roots

 once all the plants are stable and with roots, it's time to hung the wreath on the wall!

this picture was taken a couple of months later

remember to trim the plants every now and them to keep the round shape, and place the cuttings in a flower pot, a new succulent plant will grow from them! :)

night night! x
