Tip for making false stems on your succulents from Cindy at The Succulent Perch! When wiring and taping to add your false stem you will want to make sure not to cover up all the stem where the leaf nodes are- that is where the roots will develop. Using tape, too high up on the stem, may cover up the leaf nodes. You can also just use a firm wire, like an 18 gauge, insert it into the succulents stem and then into the sphere...no tape needed! The 18 gauge will be stiff enough to insert the succulent!

    Angie ClawsonΒ I remove the roots so they will easily slide into place in the moss sphere. This sphere is tightly packed with moss (and I mean, TIGHT with moss :) Β to where a root ball wouldn't fit. I make cuttings, let them callous, insert them into the sphere, and they will form brand new roots and do great! Thanks for the question! ~Laura
