The arrangement

A short note

A balanced study in form and texture: the cool blue rosette of an Echeveria anchors the composition, the trailing String of Pearls softens the bowl's rim, and a striped Haworthia provides architectural contrast.

All three thrive on the same gritty mineral mix and the same fortnightly watering rhythm — an easy companionship for a south-facing windowsill.

Care

Bright direct light. Soak and dry. Water roughly every two to three weeks.

Styling

The warmth of aged brass flatters the cool blues and silvery greens. Choose a shallow bowl with a drainage hole drilled by a metalworker, or set the plants in a plastic liner.
