Notes
Pick a flat-top pumpkin: Choose one with a stable surface so the arrangement sits securely.
Use jars inside pumpkins: This keeps the succulents contained and makes watering easier.
Layer moss or burlap around the jar: It hides gaps and adds rustic texture to the design.
Mix pumpkin sizes and colors: Different shapes and shades create more visual interest.
Water sparingly: Succulents don’t need much moisture so let the soil dry before watering.
Add decorative touches: Dried flowers, pine cones or greenery give extra seasonal charm.
