It starts

One day I saw the cutest little stripey "aloe". It was dark with these great contrasting white stripes. It turned out to be a Haworthia fasciata. While looking for this plant I found many other appealing beauties and decided on a large bowl for a succulent community.

Anacampseros rufescens, Crassula agrentea compacta, Echeveria derengerii , Echeveria subsessillis, Crassula dubia, Graptosedum "California Sunset", Haworthia fasciata, "Living rock" Pleiospilos nelii, Echeveria "Olivia", Sempervivum sp., Echeveria shaviana "Pink Frills", Sedum pachyphyllum

I got a second set of the Pleiospilos and put them in thier own pot because I thought that they would get too much water in the community pot. The top guy of the four in the community pot shriveled and died. Interestingly the guys in the community pot look better than the ones that have their own pot.


After top dressing

I put this pot in a more sunny location for the rest of winter a few days ago.The Haworthia was taken out of the pot today after I started to get worried that it might get too much sun. I replaced it with a Senecio haworthii that I bought last weekend.
