The arrangement
A short note
Suspended at eye level, this small composition rewards a second look: a curtain of String of Bananas spills from one side, a small yellow-spined Lemon Ball cactus sits centred, and red-tipped jelly beans trail the other.
All three accept the same fortnightly drink and the same strong indirect light. Suspending the planting lets the trailing succulents fall freely, and lifts the cactus to be admired at close range.
Care
Bright indirect to gentle direct light. Water lightly every two weeks.
Styling
A simple grey stoneware vessel on plain hemp cord stays quiet against any wall. Choose a spot near a window where the trailing stems catch the light from beside.
