Nice work. It made me laugh watching how the dog was so patient with trying to get your attention. He so likes being around you;good friends are precious.
@@urbanjungleplants1478 Appropriate name. Buddies are the best ! Thx for reply. Nice to see host is checking their fans. Enjoying your vids. Good day to u.
Leave it set flat for a couple weeks after planting to establish enough roots to hold it in place. Hang on a wall outside to avoid water damage and use a spray bottle to water with.
I like this idea and would use it as a propagator in a simpler version Once you add stones, etc it would need to be a tabletop piece. Otherwise I do think it could be hung on an outdoor (garage) wall. The grating and plant roots would hold the plants in place and succulents don't require massive watering. I love succulents and cacti and grow many interesting varieties.
You left out the 3 main parts for me. How did you secure the plants without damaging them ? How do you water without staining the wall Anderson how does it look when hung.?
I haven't made this yet, but anything plastic, you can attack on back - like a cheap tray, plastic, etc...Good question though. I would actually keep it flat until the plants roots grab on to the dirt. I feel some of these would keep falling out. It doesn't take long for a succulent to grow roots.
Really nice project but it would be even nicer with some instructions. I presume, that it should lay flat 2-3 weeks, until roots are sufficiently formed so it would not fall out once hanged. About watering, it would be probably better for plants to water/spray or partially soak the art from behind every few weeks or so. And to prevent wall damage/mold I would suggest to add a piece of thick removable plastic to secure everything from behind. These are only my suggestions that might help you, but it would be nice to get some answers from the author of this video.
Written instructions on wht was used would have been nice. Like wht kind of wire was tht and where does it come from. Wht was the frame from? I have no idea wht the sawdust colored shavings looking things were. This is worth subbing too.
I'd be very hesitant on using hot glue (glue gun) with it coming in contact with soil and plants (yeah, I know they're not edible but still). Besides, you have that same grid on the back, so technically, you don't need to glue anything. Also, can make the original canvass longer and wider so you can tuck it in on the top and sides without any glue.
I worked at Home Depot garden center and I made one of these. What a pain in the rear planting the succulents! Plus, each succulent cost over $3.50 which adds up quickly. Then keeping them all alive...forget it! In theory, it's a neat idea, but in actuality, no.
I understand , it adds up fast. You need to propagate a lot of plants beforehand for a project like this . They are easy to keep . Minimal water , only when completely dry , they almost thrive on neglect .
Hi beautiful work, I made one, but the succulents grew and distorted the pattern, how do I do or which succulents should I choose to keep the pattern? Thanks.
Hi. How did the painting keep over time? My succulents drop like flies :( They all seem to be echeveria variety and I expected they need the same amount of water, but some get dry and others go rotten :/
Hi, sunlight is important and if you don't have much luck with echeveria use haworthia's and aloes which are less likely to rot and die. Keep plants on the dry side and only watering once its dried out completely. This works for me anyway.
It would be nice to see it actually hanging on the wall. When ready to water, just take it down & spray lightly. Succulents don’t need a lot of water. They’re drought resistant.
Better Homes and Gardens ran this years ago. Also, totally wrong type of soil! A black potting soil would kill all your succulents bc it would hold too much moisture. Root rot. Use a cactus soil or better yet, google how to make your own out of pine bark chips, coarse sand, and rocks.
