  • Step 1 Fill the ceramic bowl with soil.

    Fill a shallow white ceramic planter with potting soil for B&B plants from your favourite garden centre.

    Step 2 Take the Christmas rose out of the plastic pot and plant it.

    Remove the Christmas Rose from its pot and place in the centre of the ceramic planter. About one third of the root ball should sit above the rim of the planter. Fill the planter with soil and heap up to a small mound all the way up to the root ball.

    Step 3 Form a slight hill towards the Christmas rose with moss.

    Cover the mound with moss and mould to a nice shape. If you choose a larger ceramic planter, you can also use ball moss instead of sphagnum moss to shape a mound.

    Step 4 Place individual houseleek rosettes on the moss.

    Place occasional house leek rosettes on the moss bed.

    FINISHED! Put larch branches behind the Christmas Rose.

    You may want to top the arrangement off with larch twigs that you bend around the Christmas Rose and stick into the soil to create a wintry background.
