How to Create a Succulent Arrangement

Create this easy centerpiece with roses and succulents. Click or tap ahead for step-by-step instructions.

Gather a variety of succulents and roses. We especially love the 'Black Beauty' roses, but any kind works great. 

Next, line the surface of a footed cake stand with moistened florists moss.

Soak a 3- or 4-inch cube of florists foam in water, then place it in the center of the cake stand on top of the moss. The saturated foam anchors the arrangement while keeping the flowers hydrated.

Trim your rose stems to 2 inches and insert into the top of the foam cube, creating a tight cluster that overlaps the edges. Tuck succulent rosettes around the foam.

Continue adding succulents until the sides of the foam cube are concealed. Cut the succulent heads as though they were flowers, making sure to anchor the stems in the foam, if necessary, so the rosettes face outward.

In just a few minutes, you’ll have this eye-catching display to show off indoors or outdoors.
