5 transplanted plants. That's not their permanent place, I just needed to hide them before people came home

Okay, and just plop them in dirt, or do I leave them to the air and wait for roots like you do for cactus?

Actually either will work but putting into dry dirt for several days till the roots start to form is my fav way. Succulents prop best in dry dirt, less room for rot when you propogate dry.

Fluffy, do you think I can put both of these together in a container about 3x bigger than each individual container? View attachment 3808936

If they're from the nursery, yes. If they're from the shipped batch, wait a bit

As long as they are not in there long (way too much dirt) and get into real direct sunlight soon, they want 6+ hours of direct sunlight and won't do as well inside. They are full sun garden plants. The longer they live in shade the more they will stretch for sun and also become more susceptible to getting burnt when you put them into real direct sun.

Just some warnings so your acclimation process is as painless as possible.

The depth of these buckets has me slightly worried. Be very careful when watering, the soil should be very dry. I'd also recommend bottom watering with this

Those buckets are half-⅔ gravel, not full dirt. This is how I housed my cactus a few years ago. Inside unfortunately is the only option for them. It's too cold now, and summer is only a couple months before it start plummeting

Okay, I have 4 Terra cotta pots that should be here by Sunday coming now. Hopefully they're deep enough. That giant one and the sage blue one in the 4 pack pic had roots that went deeper than half way into the bucket.they also were having the plastic from their nursery pots bite into their leaves because they had no more room. Might have to order more pots since I don't know how big the bucket openings are though and my 2 in 1 might have to be seperated into individuals when I replant.

I have plenty of nursery pots though for my mailed ones once they get strong enough to transplant into a larger container

I gotta figure something out for my Canna and my hostas too. Could have sworn the hosts could be potted, but mom says they can't be so I gotta look into that. I guess if they can't, I can see if grandma would want them for in town

^Most of what I got at the greenhouse I work at yesterday

vWhat came in the mail minus the purple bucket

When waiting for them to perk up, should I water normally or a bit more frequently? They're in the sunniest window right now to get light
