The Living Wreath

Step one for creating a living wreath is to have plenty of plant material. I've done about 30 4" variegated ivy cuttings that are sitting in a vase to root. Today I was at a big box store getting some seed starter mix and saw a beautiful variegated  spider plant. Have you met 'Bonnie'? The young plants are distinctly different from an average spider plant; the leaves are twisted and curly. This parent plant had so many babies that I couldn't resist. Tomorrow I will start those little guys rooting! The mature plants lose some of the curly quality (at least mine have) so I'll need lots of young 'uns to cover the coir liner. Looks like I'll be making two wreaths!
