How to transform living succulents into a vertical art installation
In short: Landscape designer Jenn Nawada demonstrates how to transition hardy succulents from the garden into a living wall. This guide covers the specific techniques needed to ensure your indoor greenery stays rooted and healthy.
The process involves using a frame divided into squares, each filled about halfway with a specialized succulent soil mix. To create a dense, lush appearance, the designer recommends placing three plants in each space and packing them tightly together.
Key technical steps include packing the soil as firmly as possible to prevent it from falling out once the frame is hung vertically. After a thorough watering to establish roots, the frame must be elevated to allow for drainage. The instructions advise waiting two to three days before hanging the piece to ensure stability.
