IS THERE A RIGHT AND WRONG WAY TO DESIGN THE PILLOW?
Use at least 1 large succulent like this rosette-shaped to serve as focal point. Surround with different size clusters of single succulent or combinations. Plant odd number - 3, 5, or 7, or make 1 large cluster made of many succulents. Cover exposed cut fabric with moss or trailing succulent or dry flower. Have fun!
Low maintenance: water your pillow with spray bottle when moss feels dry. Place indoors in bright room but not in front of sunny window. In mild climate areas, place outdoors under covered patio.
