Succulent Christmas tree

That's lovely Sandra. If they do root how will you get them out of the foam without breaking the roots?

Thanks..In the past i have just cut the block up roots and all and put it into compost but i think i will just let this go mad and see what it does...

Absolutely superb Sandra.....a really good idea and very different and impressive.I love them!

What a good idea Sandra - I must show my OH - he is in to succulents - he has covered his shed roof at the allotment with them - Jane

I would love to see pics Jane. I have been experimenting with a roof here. Lets wait to see how they do Paul but I did have fun...

Oh I do like them Sandra, never seen any done like that, I have lots of little babies now and always looking for different ways to show them off, don't think I'd ever manage something as nice as these but its worth trying just to see what one can do, I would never have thought to root any in oasis, my son-in-laws sister owns one of the local florists, I'll have to chat nicely to see what she does with the offcuts, thats assuming she has any, if not I'll try for a bargain, lol...The Welcome Basket looks good as well....Added to faves...

Wonderful creation!!!

Thanks

An overload of babies is what made me do it in the first place Lincs. I bet they throw away lots of off cuts in a florists. it makes watering easier in the foam too.

Well done Sandra .. another for GoYpedia :o)

Oh I just love that tree, you are so creative Sandra....such patience.

If you still have them in the spring and keep them in the oasis will you occasionally add some weak plant food to the watering when you think they have rooted or just leave them?

They're brilliant Sandra! what a great idea :-)

glad you like it...

Stera I haven't planed that far ahead...It is just for my Christmas decorations and thing else will be a bonus...but I will let you know how it goes.

A great original idea. Bet some of us have a go after seeing your lovely images.

What a brilliant idea Sandra :o)

Well if anyone does I hope they post pics Eirlys.
thanks Hywel.

They're great Sandra I'm sure they will root and meanwhile you've got a wonderful set of arrangements.

I love it, what a great idea! Is it one sided or all round?

thanks Waddy....it was going to be all round GF but I ran out of cuttings. Next time i will try a smaller one this is a bit unsteady if I stand it up.

How lovely Sandra.

They are so pretty .

I think these are great - lovely decorations and so attractive!

thank you.....and so far so good..one week on and its all looking healthy. not sure it is strong enough to stand independently so i have covered the tray with silver foil..i will upload a pic.

I have a cone tree done using pyramid shaped oasis - that would work very well if you have enough cuttings or you could alternate.

I have been looking at those GF. they come in all shapes and sizes.

They do indeed! Could be quite the winter project or Christmas gift ideas.

i will definitely give it a go next summer.
