Tangle a Ceropegia Woodii bud vase nest topper

Set a Ceropegia woodii vine deep into the vase.

But don't twirl in the growing tip of the vine. Let that extend beyond the design. This first vine will help support the rest.

I tell you a bit more about how I style these tips so that they add to the personality of my design this week in our email. I send out one email every week (every Wednesday morning- Vancouver time) with a bit more on one thing that I would like to highlight from each design. This is also the ideal way for us to connect. You are welcome to reply to the email to say hi... or ask a question or share a comment. I would love to hear from you. I answer all the emails, only some weeks it takes me a bit longer than others.

It really is all about layering the vine. Have a look at the vine. Visually divide it into quarters and slowly add the next vine to hook over those four points.

The next vine hooks to the second vine, again at four points but this time in between the previous four. This way the vine supports the next vine without it slipping off or dragging down under the weight. The real risk is that a strong droop in the vines might look like the design is wilting into a puddle around the base of the container.

Slip the oncidium into the vine and drape the vine over the petals.
