It is obvious that you will need many succulent cuttings to make this project. Echeveria and Gasteria are all popular choices for wreaths. However, you can also use Portulacaria, Euphorbia tirucalli, or Pachyphytum. Depending on the Graptopetalum that was used to make the Graptoveria, some plants may have similar shapes to Echeveria's, while others may have more bulbous leaves. You can also make a wreath by laying your cuttings out in a circle if you have everything ready to go. Poor drainage could cause severe rot which can prevent cuttings from rooting.

Falling leaves are a common sign of a succulent experiencing too hot temperatures or being underwater. Wait until the offsets are half as large as the parent plants and then trim them off with sharp secateurs. Remove a healthy leaf from the mother tree and ensure that no part is left behind. Some plants produce chemicals that inhibit the growth of other plants. This is known as allelopathic compounds. The Mother of Thousands is an example of such a plant. Aeonium Cyclops loves full sun but can be adapted to partial shade.
