Materials needed:
- Pair of latex gloves
- Floral wire
- Wreath frame
- Sphagnum moss
- Floral pins
- Pencil/pen/screwdriver (something to make a hole for the succulents)
- Rooting hormone
- Succulents
Instructions:
- Soak your sphagnum moss in a large bowl. The moss must be completely saturated for 10 minutes.
- Take moss out and wring out the water. Set aside. (Wear gloves and a face mask when dealing with the moss.)
- With your floral wire, tie a knot to one end of the wreath frame.
- Take a handful of moss and stuff it into the frame, forming your desired shape and thickness.
- Wrap the wire around the moss. This will hold the moss in place. Continue the process, one handful of moss at a time, until the wreath is covered.
- Organize your succulent cuttings. We organized ours by size and color.
- To plant the cuttings in the wreath, use a pencil/pen/screwdriver to create a hole in the moss.
- One cutting at a time, dip the end into the rooting hormone and then stick it in the hole in the wreath.
- To keep the succulent in place until it roots, secure it with a floral pin.
- Repeat steps eight and nine until the wreath is complete.
- Spray or soak in water once every two to three weeks. Do not overwater! If you are unsure, hold the wreath and feel its weight; if it feels very light and dry, it's time to water it. Succulents need about three to four hours of sunlight, either early morning or late afternoon.
