About this pattern

Four small houseplants in matching terracotta pots, standing in a row on one dark line. From the left: a blue-green succulent with three plump lobes, each tipped in pink; a tall green cactus with two raised arms at different heights; a spiky plant like an aloe, a light green middle spike between dark green side spikes; and a round ribbed cactus with one pink bloom on top. The four pots are the same pot, evenly spaced, each with a rim band and a darker shade down its right side. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 63 by 25 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

63 stitches wide by 25 high: 879 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Copper 921, Forest Green 989 and 4 more).
