Need to know: pea pepple glue for succulent pot arrangements
Comments (17)Hope it works out for you, Nida. Personally, as a slight spin off of Jeff's idea regarding the top dressing pebbles .... Perhaps have one or two "display plants" which have the pebbles in place. Then with the rest of the pots purchased supply a baggy of pebbles for the buyer to sprinkle on top once they get home. That way if a plant should tip, the pebbles won't get lost in the mix. Would the paper cone you mentioned have the potted plant sitting in it or will the cone come from the top of the plant down? Unsure of just how you would be doing this and would be curious to know more. What I have done when shipping plants in pots (not something I do often as it adds weight and can be a pain in the tush) is to tape strips of paper down across the top of the pots to hold the media in place. The strips should overlap and be taped so soil can't escape....See MoreRainbow Elephant Bush help
Comments (8)Plenty of info on here about correct mixes for c/s, use the search box at the top of the page. Looks like all the plants need to be moved into a more suitable mix as already stated, it's completely wrong, sorry :/ Also, don't stand them inside cover pots, you can't see the standing water inside the cover pot, better to use terracotta ones on a saucer to protect surfaces and allow you to see if they are sitting in a puddle, plastic are ok though. You don't say where you live, but as you mention HD, I figure it's the US, somewhere? Helpful to add location info to your name. If I can grow port afra here in the UK successfully, maybe you can also depending where you are, but I think your current p a is now beyond redemption. Plants also need more light/sun. Group plantings of different species often fail, there's to much variation In individual needs, best to separate species. Misting c/s is not a good plan. The leaves should root fairly easily, hopefully someone will give you names then you can search the net for cultural info on each type.

Comments (10)If you plan on selling little arrangements. I would keep to common things like Sedum or hybrids with Sedums, simple everyday Echeverias/hybrids, Graptopetalums, Sempervivums, Senecios, and Kalenchoe. Plus these guys never really go dormant all that much. If they're getting sun and water they will grow. So generally they would do fine together. Just warn people about the harsh sun. Since summer is on it's way for you:). Semps I find for me in the summer need a little protection. Also Strings of pearls or strings of whatever don't look their best with direct all day summer sun. I would just tell people full morning sun afternoon shade. Just to be safe. You usually can never go wrong with that answer:). Here's something I did lastnite in the dark with a flashlight. I'm in a hurry to get cuttings and whatever I have hanging around a home. It's kinda nice doing things in the dark. You wake up and it's a nice suprise. Normally if I was making an arrangement for someone who is new to succulents I wouldn't cram them so tight, but for me it's ok:)....See MoreSucculent Identification Help Please!
