You can put your succulent pumpkin anywhere you would like. 

They will do best in a shady covered area that gets partial sun. Or inside, where they can receive some filtered light and be out of the weather. 

Then, once a week to every other week, lightly spritz the succulents with water at the base of the stem. 

Over time, you’ll notice that the succulents will start to grow roots into the moss, which is perfect because later on, you’ll be able to plant them. 

How Long Do Succulent Pumpkins Last?

 The entire arrangement should last a minimum of 2-3 months. But there Is a very good chance that your pumpkin can last until 6 months, depending on the care. 

What to Do When the Pumpkin Gets Soft

As the pumpkin begins to get soft, it is time to take the succulents off and plant them. 

For months, you will have a beautiful pumpkin centerpiece, but then you get to plant the succulents! 

There are a couple of ways to go about planting the succulents.

1. You can carefully remove the succulents from the moss and plant them in their own pot filled with a good-quality succulent soil 

2. You can remove the entire piece of moss from the pumpkin with all of the succulents attached and place the entire thing in a pot filled with succulent soil.

By the time you are taking the succulents off of the pumpkin and planting them, they should have already grown roots into the moss. 

But every now and then, a succulent will not root. 

So you can still plant it, and after about a month or so, gently tug at the succulent to see if it’s started to grow roots into the soil.

• After you plant the succulents, do not water them for at least a few days.

• When succulents are transplanted, their roots get disturbed, and they need to callous over before getting water, which prevents the roots from rotting.

• Also note that most succulents cannot tolerate frost, full sun, or too much water.

• So be sure to keep them out of full sun and in a place where they won’t be damaged by frost. Then, only water once every 1-2 weeks.
