FAQs, cleaning and designing with artificial succulents:
- Most faux succulents such as our Barrel Cactus are made with combinations of plastic, polyester and wire
- Occasionally dust your arrangements with a feather duster. You can wash your faux succulents and cacti under running water, held upside down. Do not submerge in water.
- The base stems are long and sturdy. Trim with wire cutters.
- You’ll want to anchor your succulent plants in dry floral foam. For example, the brand name Sahara made by Oasis. Dry floral foam does not hold water and offers a sturdy base to hold your plants
- You may hot glue your floral foam to your container interior, although if you’re not mailing or moving your arrangement, it’s not necessary
- Cover your floral foam with dry moss, pebbles or decorative sand
- Now the fun starts. Insert as many faux succulents into your container as will fit
- Be creative. Feel free to cut, trim and divide your faux succulents into smaller parts. Sturdy wire cutters will work
- Think about this simple design rule for arrangements: Use one thriller (the focal point succulent), one spiller (something that drapes over the side) and one upright succulent. Spiky succulents are popular.
- Enjoy!
