Supplies
Heavy wire wreath form with back (designed for planting)
Succulent varieties in varying sizes
Moss (optional)
Greening pins (optional)
Directions
- Remove the back section of the wreath form.
- Put the burlap inside the wreath form. Press it to fit.
- Add the soil for cactus plants. Press the soil inside the burlap to ensure it doesn’t spill out
- Cut the excess burlap using the scissors. Leave a bit on the side to cover the soil with. Next, cut a circle in the center of the burlap.
- Cover the soil with the coco liner and glue the excess burlap to it to lock in the soil. You may have to make small cuts on the burlap for it to lie on the liner.
- Put the back part of the wreath back on.
- Turn the wreath over and make a small cut on the burlap.
- Move the soil around then place a succulent in the hole. Press it in gently using your fingers. You can use a greening pin to hold it in place.
- Repeat the same process with the other succulents till you fill the wreath.
- If the burlap is still visible, add moss around the succulents.
- Place your wreath on the wreath hanger and display it outdoors or in.

You can modify your wreath for different occasions of the year. You can add a red bow for Valentine’s or the festive season, and a burlap one for the other seasons. Water it every few days to ensure the plants don’t die.

Whitney says
I would never have thought to arrange succulents onto a wreath! Such a great idea! Are they easy to water like this? How long do these last? Really want to try this. 🙂
Ronique Gibson says
Whitney most succulents thrive on very little water, they are similar to cacti in that regard. You could probably get by on squirting with water once a week at the most unless you live in a very hot, dry climate. You can also research succulent care and see what the experts recommend 🙂
Pam says
And how long do these last? Do they have to be moved to bigger wreath? Do these plants grow very big?
Pam says
Is it better to have more smaller plants all together? Or fewer larger plants? Should the wreath frame be jam packed, or just touching packed?
