HOW TO ... MAKE A SUCCULENT SPHERE HANGING
What you need
Hessian, horsehair underlay, or shadecloth
Chicken wire
Fencing clips or wire
Knife or other implement for making planting holes in the coconut fibre
Soaker hose (optional, but advised)
Succulents
Method
Line both baskets with coconut fibre.
Coil a soaker hose inside the basket that will go on top.
OVERfill the baskets with potting mix, until it makes a shallow dome.
Seal the top of each with hessian, more coconut fibre, underlay or shadecloth.
Keep the cover in place with chicken mesh.
Sew into place or use fencing clips to secure the mesh.
Flip the baskets over and plant into the domes.
After 4-6 weeks, once the plants have become established, wire the two halves together or use more fencing clips.
Hang in semi-shade and keep well-watered, as these spheres dry out easily.
