I've been using a premade succulent/cactus soil but I hate it, it just doesn't drain as well as I like. And I'm not going to repot all these plants. But I read that somewhere about adding pumice and gravel, thank you for bringing this up! ❤️ I will be on the hunt for these things this week!
I was hoping they were coming from a closer state but this place is on the other side of the country! :barnie I didn't know when I ordered. But they have 20k 5 star reviews so I think the plants will be ok. Hopefully they ship soon too, Im already anxious to get them! 🤣
I forgot about this plant, I've had him for about a month. His buds were tiny and closed, but is now blooming! Its a Sedum October Daphne. Loves the sun...
When I transplanted it, there wasn't a big root ball, you are correct, its probably a shallow grower. They say the Monathes plant can grow in an inch of soil, it had no roots at all at transplanting!
I may give them a try. We sure got sun, too much sometimes!
Yes I bet they ship very easily, no branches or spikes. I may order some! I think they like high heat? Maybe yours will do really well in your blazing heat. :D We have high UV but not high temps.
I agree! The moss is out of control even after a month, :p if you sun stress these guys they turn golden, but the UV at this altitude scorches things easily so I will let him stay green. I agree these guys will enjoy these pots probably a couple of years, the moss however may neen a new pot next...
I think they are considered rare although its so rural out here, everything is rare. 🤣 I still would like to try Lithops but I would have to order them in line. And yes, these odd succulents are temperamental, I am learning fast these guys are fussy!
