Hanging Baskets with Succulents

I line the hanging basket with 1/4" wire mesh, and pack it very tightly with cactus mix.





Then, flip the basket upside-down onto plywood and plant with succulent cuttings.



Water frequently and keep upside-down in a shady spot.  When ready (either cuttings are securely packed, or rooted, or loose plants are secured with floral pins), flip the basket, hang it and plant the top.  Water the baskets as the soil dries.

    These are beautiful! I'm wondering if when you first place the plants in the mesh, how long do you need to wait before you hang the pot and add soil?
