How to Make a Hanging Orchid Planter

Fill bottom of planter with Spanish moss, pressing the moss to the sides and leaving a hole in the center. This will result in a bowl-like shape.

Soak sphagnum moss well in a container for at least 30 seconds. Then, slightly wring out excess water and put the wet sphagnum moss in the center of the Spanish moss.

Leaving orchids in their nursery pots, tuck them within the sphagnum moss so they are held in place and covered with it.

Add a 1 inch layer of potting soil on top of the sphagnum moss.

Plant sedum in the top layer of soil, arranging it around the orchids. Try to cover as much of the exposed dirt with the sedum plants to create a dense groundcover.
