No worries! Questions are always welcome!

Sounds great to me! Depending on how they arrive, you might be able to see what kind of soil they're in. If they have more inorganic matter than what you've made, add some more perlite. If it's more organic, then add some more cactus mix

Yup! Perlite is great!

Second that! I bet there are lots of rocks and pebbles to collect there!

I bet they'll be totally OK! In the meantime, you can gather more inorganic materials (tiny rocks, gravel, sand, pumice, akadama, or whatever else is easier for you to find) for their soil!

Eek! So exciting! Hopefully they arrive safely, and are as beautiful as you wish!

So that's what people mean when they say succulents are slow growers:lau They look great! Someone's got a green thumb!

That's one of my favourite Calatheas! Grats on the new plant!

I bet that if you shared pics, we'd be able to tell :p

Beautifully scentless it is!

I have no clue. Interesting hypothesis, though :lau I'd expect the smell to be there at all times, and if anything, less during the hot hours. Pollinators aren't as active during that time, so producing a smell to attract them when they're not out and about wouldn't be matter

Interesting! Mine has a very distinct musky smell. Probably because they're in a different genus

Indeed. Does yours have a distinct scent? Mine just came our of bloom, didn't take pictures

Oh! Sempervivum! Fun little common name! Never had one, but they look echeveria-ish to me. I think Beloved Birds has one?

Gorgeous! Its blooms look like the blooms of my crassula

Ah, yes. Some succulents are very bad at rooting! I bet monathes are very rare Great! Then lithops might love it!

Is this a common name for some kind of succulent, or am I experiencing a brain fart?

For cacti, mammillaria are a good genus to look into, and as for non-cacti succulents, haworthia and some echeveria are excellent *gasp* how dare you! Lithops are simply the best!

They grow in Namibian deserts, if I'm not mistaken, so those have high heat in the day and cold temperatures at night. They're not very picky about temperature. It's sunlight they enjoy. The more, the better

That explains the name! Not if it'll need repotting next spring, it might. Also not sure if it's a deep rooter or a shallow rooter, judging by its looks, probably the latter. That might mean that it doesn't utilise the bottom levels of soil as much
