In this tutorial, we’ll walk you step-by-step through building a festive, living centerpiece using fresh succulent cuttings.
You’ll learn how to:
• Prepare your moss cone by fully submerging it in water so it becomes soft and easy to work with.
• Create planting holes using a chopstick for your succulent cuttings.
• Trim your cuttings at a slight angle—this helps them stay secure and encourages rooting.
• Insert each succulent into the cone and anchor it with plant tacks for stability.
• Mix colors, shapes, and textures to design a beautifully layered tree.
• Choose the perfect succulent “tree topper” for that wow factor!
• Fill in gaps and finish the look with more cuttings for a full, lush appearance.

Simple care tips:
Give your tree a quick 5-minute “bath” when the moss feels dry, avoid overwatering, and place it in a bright, sunny window to keep it thriving.
