My First Haworthiopsis & Haworthia Succulent Arrangement

Haworthiopsis and Haworthia succulent arrangement

To celebrate my first year anniversary of succulent gardening, I bought lots of Haworthia and Haworthiopsis! 😂

Here's my yellow basket full of Hawos and I must admit I did have a hard time trying to conceptualize the arrangement.

Uprooted and airdried Haworthiopsis and Haworthia

From what I've learned so far, if we are to create a dish garden or arrangement, it is ideal to add plants in odd number (mix 3 plants, or 5, 7, 9, so on). When I tried to plant them with same spaces (as in with social distancing lol), it actually looked ugly. So I picked up my secret weapon, my last resort... which were actually stones!

The stones saved the day! After placing a stone on the rectangular pot, the arrangement ideas flow like awakened, powerful mana! I placed each Haworthia with ease and satisfied with the result!

Same goes with the Haworthiopsis, where I used 2 stones to balance all the pointy tips of Haworthiopsis coarctata and fasciata.

Creating dish garden or succulent arrangements are soooooooo satisfying! Gotta do more!

Here's the close up view of my Haworthia succulent arrangement. From left: Haworthia retusa, turgida var longibracteata (2x), magnifica, cuspidata, and retusa giant form (2x).

I've placed the Haworthiopsis attenuata (Zebra) variegated and Haworthiopsis limifolia (Fairy Washboard) in separate clay pots since I want them to stand out on their own.

For potting mix, I used Masitera soil-less mix. Repotting done on July 4, 2021.

Till next repotting session!

Echeveria 'Chroma'

Echeveria 'Chroma' succulent is an Altman Plants original echeveria hybrid. The leaves of Echeveria 'Chroma' are dark purple-brown to olive green colors that sometimes look metallic. Chroma has an indentation in the center part of each leaf, and the outer part of leaves are usually bending outwards ( paliyad ). As it grows, it branches out with multiple rosettes that can be up to 3 inches in diameter. One of the best characteristics of Echeveria ' Chroma ' is that it displays seasonal variegation by showing various stains of colors its leaves - such as pink, apricot, yellow, gold, rose red, and white - which makes the center of the rosette look like sunset during this seasonal variegation. Echeveria ' Chroma ' has tall bloom stalks with flowers that are yellow on the inside and orange-pinkish with yellow tips on the outside. Echeveria 'Chroma' Care Tips Chroma is, I think, one of the common succulents here in the Philippines and can be very

Aeonium 'Bronze Medal'

Aeonium 'Bronze Medal' is a branching succulent that forms small and compact, medallion-like rosettes that turn into dark bronze color when stressed. It has yellow flowers. In general, Aeonium don't like hot or dry weather, so they may turn dormant in summer (hence, they don't need water, except in very dry conditions). In extreme heat, their leaves tend to curl to prevent excessive water loss. Aeonium 'Bronze Medal' is a U.S. hybrid but one of its parents is unknown. The red-marked glutinous leaves and hemispherical habit point to Aeonium sedifolium . This is my favorite Aeonium species. However, it's extremely difficult to take care in lowlands. Still, I'm trying to experiment on the right spot and potting mix for Bronze Medal that will make them thrive in my small garden. More Details: A. Bronze Medal on ICN
