|  |  | Learn the Secrets to Amazing Succulent Arrangements Instantly update your home decor with stylish succulent arrangements. Join me, author and succulent expert Debra Lee Baldwin for my online Craftsy class, Stunning Succulent Arrangements, and bring these low–maintenance, waterwise plants to your table, patio or door in memorable ways. In this class, you will create containers, terrariums, bouquets and wreaths using a palette of living plants. We'll start by learning how these plants grow and how their ability to store water enables uses not possible with other plants. Then, dip your toes into design as we discuss ideas for potting single–plant containers that are conversation–starters. You'll be amazed to see that succulents come in every color of the rainbow — from red to purple and even yellow. Use a variety of plants to create a showstopping color wheel container composition, and delve into the textures and shapes of succulents. Plus, learn how to use sunlight and outdoor conditions to stress your plants and intensify color. |  | Don't limit yourself to plain pots. Confidently create a gorgeous floral–style container arrangement and add dimension using the technique of mounding. I'll even share fun ideas for using traditional or thrift–shop treasures as containers.
Most succulents are light–lovers, but many thrive in shade and do well as windowsill plants. Learn how to select the right shade–loving succulents, plant lively low–light container arrangements and care for these plants with ease. From vibrant flowering plants to those with variegated leaves and more, you'll find the perfect succulent for your office, apartment or shaded garden alcove.
Next, we'll keep things on–trend with glass terrarium compositions that will rival arrangements on the pages of your favorite magazines. Learn how to care for succulents in non–draining containers and punch up your arrangements with colored sand or glass pebbles. For a playful touch, we'll also make one of my favorite projects — an undersea–themed terrarium.  | | Are you on the hunt for a floral centerpiece or decorative bouquet? I'll share professional tips for using rosette succulents in innovative ways, getting rid of roots and creating faux stems for beautiful floral arrangements. Then, let your plants make the statement in a simple vase, or go over–the–top with a vase as extravagant as your succulent's rose–like blooms. The end result makes a perfect gift or on–trend bridal bouquet. In our last lesson, we'll create living wreaths suitable for any season. I'll show you how to make a traditional succulent wreath and an updated alternative — a grapevine wreath with glued moss and succulents. Plus, these living wreaths will last for ages with my simple tips for keeping them looking great.
