Succulent arrangement

This is another of my experimentations with succulent arrangements. The curved spiky habits of Haworthia and Aloe as the background contrasts with square shallow pot. A small sprig of blue spruce sedum softens the stiffness of the larger plants. Meanwhile, the white dots on the Haworthia also reflect off the white-colored pot. The shorter Crassula cv. Gollum (or finger jade), Echeveria and small pups from the Haworthia plant sit in the mid- and foreground to give a layered look. Finally, the sandy dressing and small orange-colored pebbles add final touches and color contrast to the largely green and white palette. Over time, as the plants get overcrowded, there may be a need to remove some of them. But for now, I hope this looks pleasing to the eye.
