The arrangement

A short note

Four specimens layered for height and contrast: an upright Snake Plant at the back, two rosettes — one pale lavender, one sea-green — at the middle, and a Burro's Tail trailing from the front lip.

These four share a tolerance for bright indirect light and infrequent watering. The Snake Plant tolerates the lower light at the back of an arrangement; the rosettes catch the front sun.

Care

Bright indirect to direct light. Water every two to three weeks once soil is dry.

Styling

A heavy, footed iron planter grounds the composition and balances the Snake Plant's height. The verdigris green complements both the cool rosettes and the warm trailing stems.
