A very affordable masterpiece I might add…

Instructions

Start by filling up the planter most of the way with moss. You'll want to save some moss to put on the top. Also make sure to leave some room to put the succulents inside.

Remove excess soil from the roots of the succulents. If the roots are tightly bound you'll want to loosen them up. This will enable the roots to spread more easily.

Start placing the succulents in the planter. Nestle the roots into the moss to help hold the succulent in place.

After you have all your succulents in place, make sure you like the way they are arranged and how close they are to each other. You can also add a little soil back in if there's a lot of empty space between plants.

After you have the succulents situated, finish off the arrangement by adding moss in between the succulents. Be sure to cover up any visible roots or soil.

The arrangement should lay flat for at least 4-6 weeks until the roots have had time to grow into the moss.

After a few weeks you can stand the arrangement up, hang it on a wall, or keep it flat. It's up to you!
