Step-by-Step

Step 1: Use the floral wire to make a Christmas tree shape. If you don't want to start from scratch, another option is buying some chicken wire and just round it up into a funnel.

 Step 2: Slightly wet the moss and stuff it in the wire frame.

Step 3: This is a very important step. Before using the cutting to make the tree, make sure you let it callous for a few days. The end of the cutting should be fairly dry to prevent rotten stem.

Once the end is fairly dry, remove the bottom leaves of the cutting to expose the stems. This will make it easier to stick the clippings to the steel frame. We can keep the leaves for later use in propagation.

Step 4: Secure the cutting to the moss with pins. Start from the bottom with bigger succulents and work it up to the top of the tree.
