Webesemps thanks for the tips.
I've been using E.B. Stone cactus potting soil. Mixed with pumice and perlite and a little charcoal (I always use a little charcoal I like the texture) All my amendments are purchased at a local nursery chain. I then do a top layer with pea gravel. I think I'm going to change my top dressing to chicken grit though. I like how it's sharper looking than the pea gravel I use.

I took some pictures of some of my other semps, it was dark when I took the pics. I'm excited to share though!

In order.
The first pot has a few Semp. a. Alpha and Semp. a. Red Cobweb

The pot with 5 in it are NOIDS.
I'll get some pictures in the day light when they mature a bit more.

Next is Kalinda. I put this one in an orchid pot. I noticed the bottom leaves of the rosettes are point downward. My understanding is this could be from over watering. The terra cotta glazed orchid pot has holes throughout it. I'm hoping this will allow the soil to dry out better between waterings.

My other smaller pot with 4 little chicks has Semp red heart, 2 jovibarba hedgehog, and Jovibarba hirta histoni I have to double check to see what the last little chick is. They have some dirt caked on them in waiting for some warmer temps to water them down real good to get the dirt cleaned off better.

The last picture I have Belansky Tatra Jovibarba hirta in a smaller pot.

I still have more that I need to pot up. I'll take some day time pics when those are done so I can share.
Thank You! for checking out my pics! Smiling
