The Highland Plateau

A short note

A study in contrasts: the near-black rosette of Aeonium Zwartkop sits low to one side, a small Organ Pipe rises behind, and a fuzzy Bear's Paw softens the front edge with its red-clawed leaves.

All three accept the same regime of bright light and infrequent watering, though the Aeonium prefers winter growth while the cactus and cotyledon rest. A wide bowl gives each room to keep its character.

Bright direct light. Water every two to three weeks; reduce in summer dormancy for the Aeonium.

Pale cream stoneware lets the dark Aeonium read as the focal point. Top-dress with crushed cocoa shell or fine bark to echo the rosette's deep tones.
