We’re in love with this new succulent, our artificial Stonecrop in burgundy with fleshy succulent leaves in dark red colors. Use alone in small succulent pots, or poke between plants in large arrangements. Our fake succulent is 8-inches wide (very bendable to suit your arrangement) on a 4-inch stem.
FAQs, cleaning and designing with artificial succulents:
- Most faux succulents such as our artificial Stonecrop are made with combinations of plastic, polyester and wire
- Occasionally dust your plants with a feather duster. You can wash your gray aloe under running water, held upside down. Do not submerge in water.
- The base stems are often short and sturdy
- 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
- 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!
