Very pretty.

xuan, really nice setup. must be great when it gets full grown.

cheerios.

Very nice--thanks for sharing!

Much nicer than any of my dish gardens. Good job.

Thank you for your comments. I really appreciate it.

Xuan

I like it!
All of the textures and the whorls!
The staging, with the white stones and the centerpiece rocks, reminds me of a tide-pool....with the plants representing various sea-life, such as crabs, snails, and anemones. Nicely done,

Josh

You are an artist! Great combination of plants.
Mike

Thanks again!
I guess it was just merely luck that I could get the right plants to go together! Earlier on, I had a "sedum" on the left side but surely I knew sedum would prefer different watering/sun condition. So I removed it and replanted with two smaller haworthias. Now I believe the whole dish looks more "unified" and yet still has some "variation" as to texture and shape of plants.
Now, my intention is to keep everything "small" for proportion. I would appreciate your ideas regarding this matter. (The haworthia on the right is growing fast!)

You used a good selection of plants, they are semi-shade winter growing plants, did you know that there are miniature Gasteria? Miniature Haworthia? You did a great job, congratulations. I can't tell if you used a top dressing to finish it off, if you choose to do so, make sure the gravel is a native color and very small in size, but heavy enough not to wash away when watered. Norma

Nicely done Xuan, great choice of plants you picked!

Thank you, Norma, for your comments. I have one question, though, re "native color gravel". Could you please explain a bit more about this color? I bet it'd look nicer since you are an expert and I want to do it but I think I must know what it is first up. Right now I just use river stones to keep the soil from flasting up when I water the plants.
I must confess I know very very little about succulent varieties and I just get whatever it is available in the market.
Pug: thanks for your nice words :-)
