A great “how to guide” from Sunset on how to make a living wall of succulents designed and planted by Robin Stockwell.
Build the vertical garden frame similar to a picture frame. For those of you in the California area, a preassembled frame can be purchased from Succulent Gardens. Cost is about $US35 for a 6- by 12-inch frame.
Gather succulent cuttings, make sure the stems are at least 1/4 inch long. Allow the stems to harden by placing them in a cool area for a few days. The frame above will take about 60 succulents, so you will want to make sure you are well stocked up.
Fill in with moist cactus mix/soil/potting mix. The mesh should hold the majority of the soil in place
Place the cuttings the soil. Keep the frame horizontal for about until the roots grow. This could take about between 1 to 3 months.
