Create your own Living Wreath!


WOW! When I saw this wreath, I could not believe that something so beautiful could also be a living, growing creation. Bring life to your front door or dining table with a living wreath. Thanks to Taysia Scarano and The Daily for this awesome tutorial.




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:
  1. Soak your sphagnum moss in a large bowl. The moss must be completely saturated for 10 minutes.
  2. Take moss out and wring out the water. Set aside. (Wear gloves and a face mask when dealing with the moss.)
  3. With your floral wire, tie a knot to one end of the wreath frame.
  4. Take a handful of moss and stuff it into the frame, forming your desired shape and thickness.
  5. 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.
  6. Organize your succulent cuttings. We organized ours by size and color.
  7. To plant the cuttings in the wreath, use a pencil/pen/screwdriver to create a hole in the moss.
  8. One cutting at a time, dip the end into the rooting hormone and then stick it in the hole in the wreath.
  9. To keep the succulent in place until it roots, secure it with a floral pin.
  10. Repeat steps eight and nine until the wreath is complete.
  11. 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.

How can I save water this summer?
“You can literally save thousands of gallons of water in your landscape, and save your plants from drowning, with the proper setting of your irrigation controller. But you can’t just set it and forget it. You need to change the watering schedules as plants become established, with the changing seasons, and when it rains. Here’s [a link to] an easy guide to make setting your irrigation controller easier than programming your VCR”
