Now that everything has been planted, you will want to fill any of the wreaths bare areas in with moss. Using your floral
pins, simply locate a bare area, place a small bit of moss (damp or dry) on top of the area and secure it by simply pushing a
floral pin through the moss and into the soil. Remember to leave some room for your plants to grow. If you pack the plants in
too tightly you will need to prune them in a very short time, or worse -- they could choke each other and start to die.
Caring For
Once you are satisfied with the finished wreath, you’ll want to find a place to display it. Take your plants needs into
consideration when choosing a spot for your living wreath. Will it need bright sunlight? Will it thrive in an outside garden?
Take the wreath down and lay it flat when watering. Some plants, such as African violets, will prefer to absorb liquid
through their roots and should be placed in shallow dishes of water. Others, such as certain ivies, will thrive with a
frequent, light misting. As your plants grow, continue to use floral pins to train them along the wreath form, pruning when
necessary.
