  • Poke a hole into the moss where you want the plant to be placed.
  • Dab hot glue all around the stem of your succulent and place in the hole in the moss and hold down until glue hardens.
  • Continue gluing succulents in the moss until the arrangement is full.
  • After a day or two, give the plants and moss a good spritz with a water bottle and continue to water every week to week and a half.

Notes

If using succulent cuttings, cut stems back to 1/4" and allow to air dry for a few days before planting. 
If using full plants, remove all the dirt before planting. 
Use large or tall succulents in the middle and work outward adding plants. Use smaller plants or trailing succulent to fill in between large plants and on the edges.
