Choosing the Perfect Dress Form and Materials

To create a unique succulent planter, you'll need a wire dress form. Look for one that is sturdy and can hold the weight of the plants. You can find wire dress forms at local stores or online.

In addition to the dress form, you'll also need preserved sheet moss and burlap. The sheet moss will help retain moisture and provide a natural look, while the burlap can be used to line the dress form and prevent soil from falling out.

Preparing the Dress Form for Planting

Before planting the succulents, prepare the dress form by lining it with burlap. Cut the burlap to fit the inside of the dress form and secure it in place using floral wire or zip ties.

This step is crucial as it prevents the soil from spilling out of the dress form.

Choosing and Planting the Succulents

Now comes the fun part - choosing the succulents for your dress form planter! Opt for a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes to create an eye-catching display.

Gently remove the succulents from their nursery pots, taking care not to damage the roots. Arrange them in the dress form, starting from the bottom and working your way up. Fill any gaps with additional soil.

Caring for Your Succulent Dress Form Planter

Succulents are low-maintenance plants, but they still require proper care to thrive in your dress form planter.

Place the planter in a location that receives bright, indirect sunlight. Water the succulents sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
