A little bit of teal in an upright form sets off succulent designs in gray and silver. Our faux blue Senecio is 4 inches wide on a 4-inch stem.
FAQs, cleaning, and designing with artificial succulents:
- Faux succulents are made with combinations of plastic, polyester, and wire
- To clean them, occasionally dust your plants with a feather duster. Additionally, wash your senecios under trickling water, held upside down. Do not submerge in water.
- The base stems are often short and sturdy
- You can anchor your succulent plants in dry floral foam. 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
- 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.
- Choose complimentary colors. Silvers look fabulous with reds. Purples pop when paired with light greens. Grays work easily with blues and yellows.
- Finally, have fun, and enjoy!
