My rollers love the sandy loam mixture I use in the beds. I think that is part of the reason the mature rosettes get so big.
Tim's should do the same, as his native soil is a sandy loam I think?
I think my rollers will size up slowly but surely. They were all such tiny little guys when I put them in last year. Their growth has been modest but reasonable since then. My soil is a sandy loam or a silty loam, depending on who you talk to. The more I grow semps the more I think this soil is excellent for semp culture, if not necessarily for accelerated growth. It has an excellent mineral cross section across the board with the notable exception of Calcium which I tend to add liberally. Good thing it's cheap.
Here's 'Connie' after I thinned her out a bit. I don't think they should be packed together too tightly.
