I cannot be trusted to take care of anyone’s plants while they are away on vacation — they will die by my hands. I have even succeeded in killing a cactus, which I have been told is extremely difficult. However, I’m ready to forgive and forget the plants that have gone before and I decided to make a stylish planter for some succulents. This wire form is modified to hold dirt and will display the succulent skirt wonderfully. Fingers crossed that I can keep these little plants alive.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eHomegrown Gown Project Directions:\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eTrim pieces of burlap to cover the back and bottom of the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/wire-forms%20\" target=\"\"\u003ewire form\u003c\/a\u003e. With several lengths of jewelry wire, stitch the burlap to the wire form dress.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAttach several lengths of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jewelry-making\" target=\"jewelry making supplies\"\u003ejewelry wire\u003c\/a\u003e across the front of the wire form to form a tight grid. This will help to give structure to the succulents and help to hold them in place.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLay the dress flat on the table and fill about 90% with dirt. Be sure to add water to the dirt as you go because the moisture helps to keep the dirt from crumbling and falling out the sides of the wire form.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRemove the succulents from their original pots and shake out or break apart the roots so that each succulent stem is separate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWork the roots of each succulent through the wire frame and gently push into the dirt. Add more potting soil as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYou can also work with succulent clippings and just stick the stems into the ground. These clippings will sprout new roots. If you are using clippings, allow up to a week for the clippings to sprout roots before you stand your wire form upright for display.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFill in any holes between the succulents with some Spanish Moss.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Free Projects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45452537200791,"sku":"PROJ-1211","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/5546\/3319\/files\/PROJ-1211__55014.1558411048.1280.1280.jpg?v=1746793951","url":"https:\/\/stampington.live\/products\/homegrown-gown-project","provider":"Stampington \u0026 Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
