Succulent Pumpkin CareUpdated 3 years ago
DISPLAYING AND CARING FOR SUCCULENT PUMPKINS
- Keep arrangements with soft succulents (i.e. not frost hardy) at above freezing temperatures.
- Pick a location that gets airflow and indirect sunlight but is protected from heavy rain and direct sun.
- Succulent cuttings should not be watered until they grow roots. The moss, however, benefits from a light misting every couple days; try to avoid misting the succulents until they grow roots.
- The pumpkin is more prone to rot than succulent cuttings, but placing it on a bit of cardboard absorbs moisture and extends the display’s lifespan.
- Depending on succulent varieties used and its location, your centerpiece can retain its color and last for about 1-3 months.
- After use, you can remove the succulents and plant them in pots with well-draining cactus/succulent potting soil. Water deeply every 3-7 days and watch as they re-grow into living décor for spring.
