Create a Centerpiece

Make a big impact with a group of small plants that form a low-maintenance centerpiece.

Design Concepts: Repetition and variety. Even though they aren’t identical, these glazed ceramic pots and saucers are unified by color, shape, and size (Villa and Azalea pots, $11 to $34 each, Pot Luck Studios, 800-559-7341 for stores). Likewise, the plants are different varieties of the same species.

Plants: Succulents, like the hens and chicks, jade plant, and purple aeonium shown here, are easy to care for. These sun lovers prefer dry soil.
