Angie Clawson 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 :) 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

If you simply stuck the succulent cuttings into the moss ball I don't see why it wouldn't work. Assuming there's some potting mix inside the ball the succulents would be perfectly happy growing in it. If you think it would get too moist you've never dealt with a kokedama before. They dry out SO quickly in the wind, it's actually harder to keep them well watered. I'd be more interested in how the plants on the bottom grew. With the ball swinging in the wind I can't see light being an issue for those on the bottom and back, but how exactly would a plant's root system develop upside-down, how well would it grow with inverted gravity? Eventually they'd get really leggy, I assume, as they try to grow up vertical, but I guess you could grow some smaller sedums on the bottom and just trim them back constantly.

@gardenanswer it looks amazing but I am curious how long did it last for you? Specifically the ones you had to use wire and tape being they were taped covering the exposed end of the stem how were they able to produce any roots or absorb water? Never used floral tape so not sure how it works. But it looks great and I have a pot filled with the same type that over the years crew a billion babies and is now just a hot mess. Love this idea to possibly do with those.

Dear Laura, I had a crafting party, ordered the balls, bought the plants and supplies, and we made our spheres. I have a question about watering. The balls were heavy and wet from being submerged in the manure tea water. Should we let them dry completely out before watering again? I know the roots are just trying to form and so want to make sure the watering isn't too much or too little at the beginning. Also, which ball is preferable, the one from topiary art works which is just moss, or the one from Braun which is soil in the middle? Also, I checked out the link above and I believe you need to be a business owner to order from them because they ask for a tax ID number to sign in. Is that true? Thanks!

I hope I answer your question.Good luck..

I want to see a picture of this a year later. There seem to be some big problems with it (for those who want to make one). First.... the moss balls. Succulents will root just about anywhere but they need sandy soil to grow. Soil provides nutrients to the plant. Moss doesn't. Basically the moss turns this into a pretty party decoration. Notice she mentions learning the false stem method from someone incorporating succulents into flower arrangements. No way can roots grow wrapped in tape. And to cut roots off and remove all the dirt just hoping they'll root. Make a bigger hole and shove the roots down in there. No need to tramautize the plant and hope it grows new roots. Then there is that aloe that I see in the beginning. I don't see specifically what she does with it but I've never seen one grow from a cutting (and saw a long post on a succulent group recently about clueless people buying aloe leaves online with the belief that they'll root). So if the roots were lopped off of it, it's dead. That doesn't even begin to address that each plant has different water and light needs and don't seem to be carefully selected to have similar needs.

Rebecca Giese She has said time and time again that the arrangements she makes are NOT for long term. They are temporary decorative pieces that unlike flowers, will not die and you can grow after you're done displaying them. And yes you're right the moss itself does not hold any nutrients. That's what the compost tea is for. The "tea" which is fertilizer, provide the nutrition that the plant needs which is good enough to last you quite a few months since succulents don't need very much nutrition because they're not only good at surviving with little water, but also with little nutrition. But regardless, she can always just dunk the ball again in some fertilizer solution and provide it with nutrition for a few more months. You're also right about the tape, except that if you had taken the time to scroll down a bit, you'd see that a commenter already addresed that and she does say that she forgot to mention to leave 1-2 nodes exposed so that it can grow roots. Additionally, yes aloes can grow from cuttings, I've done it many times. However they do not grow from LEAF cuttings. But I doubt that Laura had any plans to take the plant apart and try to propagate it from its leaves. Oh and lastly, while some succulents do have different light requirements ALL will grow and be just fine if you give them bright indirect sun which is what she gives them. Some will 'thrive' more if they're in direct sunlight where they'll develop more interesting colors, that doesn't mean however that they will not survive in bright indirect light.
