3 Ways To Attach Succulents To Driftwood, So They Can Grow / Joy Us garden

[@moralles-l7b]

thank you for this i last watched it 3 years ago and im here to express my gratitude for introducing me to gardening, ps: your smile is contagious!

[@zaxmom2006]

This answers so many questions! Thanks for your help with this. I'm going to make and hang one in my family room. Thanks again for your time, knowledge and effort! Happy growing!

No one explains why you can't use superglue. To be quite honest we use it all the time to attach moss and plants to wood in aquariums and fish, shrimp and snails do not die. Acrylic finger nails are attached with superglue to our nails and we do not die. Superglue is even used instead of stitches in surgery. It seems hot glue would damage tissue.

[@solidgonzalez5070]

So you directly put hot glue on the bottom of the stem into the moss?

[@jorgesalgado4941]

If the driftwood is angled at about 60-70 degrees, will the succulents fall off or would I just need to make sure to add more glue and some sort of rapping around it too ensure it won’t fall off.

[@lzrd8460]

Thanks for the tips. But don't the succulents get burnt when attaching them with hot glue? And do you mean using a hot glue gun? I see you have a pot of glue you're using. I found a gorgeous piece of wood a few years ago and now I know what I want to do with it. Again, thanks so much for all the tips.

Hi can u use this technique to a shaped book case small like in Xmas tree shape

[@yadircanedo2609]

I’m sorry what were those brown sheets called

[@craftsplantsandsucculentsw1076]

Hello Joy ! Just wonder what is that brown glue you’re using , if you response ,, it’s highly appreciated. Beautiful.. love it so much 💕

[@DBCnadadia]

What type of glue?

[@tinklvsme]

We live in the mountains there is a lot of natural free growing moss on our rocks. Can I use that kind of moss, 1 is light green and the other is like the sheet moss. : D

[@desertplantsofavalon]

[@JoyUsGarden]

[@dibeveridge4634]

Fabulous informative video💕

[@muhammadkhan-bb9fl]

How we water these glued succulents? If we remove the glue or water in moss? I heard moss always hold water so they will not die?

[@rachelberger6968]

Do you need to soak driftwood to get the salt out first? (An extra step I'd prefer to skip, but I've heard this mentioned a few times).

[@Faeriefungus]

You’re amazing thank you angel :)

[@bonnieduke557]

Thanks for the great instructions and design ideas. :)

[@JoyUsGarden]

You're welcome Bonnie! Nell

[@marat5617]

Doesn't the hot glue damage the succulents?

[@StMerrique]

hot glue does not damage the succulent

[@user-gn5uy6lx7z]

Considering the fact that air plants doesn't have roots and they get their water from the air gluing them so that their strings on the bottom can eventually attach themselves to what ever they are placed on. As for watering how are you going to soak them if they are glued to something? Air plants love water but not soil so that tip is fruitless because they love water but must dry out in between soaking and putting them in soil is a big no no. You spray your plant's once a month? I soak mine at least once every other week for several hours, shake off excess water and hang them to dry and making sure that the plants are a little facing down so that the water will not pool in the middle of the plants and cause rot.

[@michelleforgues66]

thank you, now I'm ready to find some driftwood

[@katiebizley528]

I love this video so much, thank you for making it, what an inspiration!

[@JoyUsGarden]

My pleasure Katie - so glad you found it helpful! Nell

[@marygorchidsmore2058]

I like the drift wood mounting and looking forward to see the arrangement on the drift wood too! Thanks very much for sharing your ideas!

[@JoyUsGarden]

You'll see some of the finished pieces in Friday's video +MaryG Orchids I'm so happy to share with you! Nell

[@christyrivas5499]

love your videos on succulents! keep posting!

[@JoyUsGarden]

Hi +Christy Delgado - Stay tuned because there are 2 succulent design videos coming your way - 1 on Fri & 1 next Weds. Thanks for watching! Nell

[@myshinningstarkg]

Question? Can I repot echeverria plant while in bloom?

[@JoyUsGarden]

It's not the best time to do it +kenya G but because succulents are so resilient, you can. Nell

[@myshinningstarkg]

+JoyUsGarden oh ok , Thanks a lot .😊

[@JoyUsGarden]

Sure thing. +kenya G

[@liontamer3346]

thank you! you are adorable...

[@janineburke1954]

That was such a great video - thank you so much. It blows my mind that you can use hot glue.

[@lorrainecray3965]

What glue do you use?

[@JoyUsGarden]

Hi Lorraine - I use a dab or 2 of hot glue (which I let cool a bit before attaching). You can also use E6000 or Tilly Tacker but they take a bit longer to dry. Nell

[@lorrainecray3965]

JoyUsGarden yes I do the same, I was wondering if you used florist glue?

[@JoyUsGarden]

Well there are different glues which are called florist's glue. When I worked for a florist back in the day, hot glue was what we used. Nell

[@ripvanwinkle7044]

Thank you for all your videos. I'm leading so much.

[@JoyUsGarden]

Oh you're welcome +Rip van Winkle Glad to hear it! Nell

[@chickenfingies666]

I just came because my aunt has succulents in rocks outside her house and stuff... idk why I'm typing this

[@denisem1632]

I like that idea.Thanks for sharing :-)

[@carolstuff]

Did you finish the wood with sealers or they’re natural?

[@MosaicRose99]

This gives me some great ideas with some driftwood I have, thanks! :)

[@JoyUsGarden]

There's a couple of succulent & driftwood design videos coming up soon! +SoothingChime15 Nell

[@wendycapitano5462]

Doesn't the glue kill the plant??

[@StMerrique]

hot glue does not damage the succulent

[@morganrussell6282]

Do you have any advice for caring for stapelia?

[@JoyUsGarden]

They're fairly easy as houseplants +Morgan Russell Give them bright light & because they're actually not a cactus, keep evenly moist but not soaking wet. Water them like you would a Christmas Cactus. Nell

[@bryantchan6168]

sooooooo coollllll ! awsome plants

[@JoyUsGarden]

Well thank you so much!!! +Bryant Chan Nell

[@MsBluemoon83]

Nice. Thanks for sharing.

[@JoyUsGarden]

Oh, my pleasure! +Marilou Almanoche Nell

[@MariaGottstuck]

How do I water succulents when they grow in moss?

[@JoyUsGarden]

Hi Maria - I just spray the moss with water every week or 2, depending on how warm it is. Nell

[@MariaGottstuck]

+JoyUsGarden thank you!

[@JoyUsGarden]

You're welcome! Nell

[@kineiya]

I was told never to use spanish moss with succulents, orchids, and other similar plants because it will rot. Have you found this to be true with your plants?

[@JoyUsGarden]

Hi - I use Spanish Moss a lot. My large Air Plant has been wrapped in dyed, preserved Spanish Moss for almost 3 years. Now that I've moved to the desert, I mist the moss & the air plant every day or so. It's attached to 1 of my bougainvilleas. The "moss mass" has shrunken a bit but its still there. I have heard that Spanish Moss will rot fairly quickly if placed on or in soil. Nell

[@kineiya]

Ah ok thanks for clearing that up. I was told to never use it with any plants including air plants by a nursery. Thank you.

[@JoyUsGarden]

You're welcome. I don't know if it's right or wrong, but I've seen it many times. Nell

[@darciefromnv2md]

They say no SM in plants or air plants bc they think most people drown it or over spray so it rots or molds. But if you don’t clump it, dunk it and keep it relatively dryer (spritzing and not dunking) then SM is fine for plants. It doesn’t like heavy moisture. It’s mostly used for fake flower arrangements but air plants are fine just don’t dunk your wood

[@yashsultania9391]

Do you treat drift wood

[@JoyUsGarden]

I don't but you should soak it over night to remove any bugs. Nell

[@kushayaeshini7454]

hi.i really like to make mini gardens. But in Sri Lanka its too hard to find succulent plants or seeds. i need some plants or seeds. please help me.

[@marklewis4793]

..soak wood in cow manure months before planting,.. dry,..brush w wirebrush,..rinse n plant.-NEVER USE GLUE!

[@Kiwiscanfly02]

Kinda feel sorry for the succulents being hot glued to wood

[@TheGraySwan]

Don't see how the Succulent will keep growing. Like I feel like it would just die without any dirt as well. I didn't think people used glue for this

[@fournierveronique6466]

glue is not very ecological, and not healthy for your plants, so better attach them with natural string

[@JoyUsGarden]

That's an option too. Nell

[@livingornaments1034]

We have a non toxic biodegradable adhesive you will like.

[@jasminepirini9799]
