Make a plant frame with succulent cuttings!
To make a succulent board you will need three main items: a frame, succulent cuttings, substrate and a handful of natural moss. If you are a bit of a handyman, you can easily make the frame using a few wooden slats or cleats by creating the shape of your choice. Then it is enough to fill the frame with substrate and put a thin layer of natural moss on the surface and put a mesh, which will prevent the potting soil from falling. All you need to do is transplant the small cuttings and place them gently against each other in the frame.

How to maintain succulents in tables!
Once your planter table is ready, ideally wait two or three days before watering and horizontally for about a month before placing vertically, until the cuttings take root and properly maintain the substrate. !

Succulent arrays can be grown both indoors and outdoors. However, if you have opted for frost-resistant plants, make sure that you place the painting covered in a light, frost-free place during the winter. As the plants grow, you can prune the plants however you like, take cuttings and transplant them again…and why not make another painting!
