Cone pot
The root system of succulents is small, therefore very small dishes are enough for them. This makes it possible to use very original solutions like pots for succulents from cones. Try to pick a large bump in diameter 6 - 7 cm. The bottom of the bump must be slightly concaveto make it easier to fix the moss. Just use a pair of pliers to “bite off” a few pieces from the rod. Then prepare glue and about 2 meters of thin durable twine or fishing line. For work, you will need a small strong vessel to put the cone upright. To fill the pots, take moss sphagnum, some soil and a few small succulents.
- Lay the moss on the slightly concave top of the cone and glue it by spraying glue.
- Tie a cone with a fishing line a couple of times so that it fits snugly to the core of the cone.
- Tie the remaining free ends with a very strong knot of centimeters 15 - 20 from the bump.
- To be able to act with both hands, place the cone vertically in the prepared vessel (you can use the cap from the bottle with glue).
- Peel the stalk of the succulent from the soil and "children", leaving its length about 2 cm.
- Attach the stalk of the succulent among the moss and fix it until its own roots have developed.
- Hang and enjoy the original look!
