Make a Succulent Wreath

Create your own living wreath of low-water succulents to decorate your outdoor spaces.

It's easy to mix succulents in an array of types and colors to craft an eye-pleasing tableau of textures and hues. Our step-by-step instructions start with a ready-made sphagnum moss wreath. You can also purchase a wire form and sphagnum moss liner separately.


Pick the Right Plants

Succulents are ideal for wreaths because they grow slowly. Top picks include sedum, Aeonium, Echeveria, Kalanchoe, mother of pearl plant, and jade plant.

Take Cuttings


Take cuttings of succulents a day or two prior to creating your wreath. Cut stem sections 1 to 2 inches long, removing lower leaves. Allow cuttings to sit overnight on a tray to let the cut ends callus (form a thin layer of cells).


Soak the Form
Submerge a mesh-covered moss wreath form in water. Allow the form to sit in water until it's fully saturated. If you're filling your own wreath form with sphagnum peat moss, soak moss and wring it out prior to filling the form. Wear gloves when working with loose peat moss.
