ShawnSteve said:I can recall an old one, at a garden center (closed for years, now.) Theirs was planted in a shallow "bonsai" pot. The offsets were on long (barren) stalks, laying atop the fine gravel growing medium.

I think that wet peat moss, (& amount of time, it may take to dry out during winter,) is likely your worst enemy.
Try transplanting, into something without all that organic matter. You also might try to look in Database images here, to give you some better ideas.

I have them in shallow terracotta pots with half cacti soil & half perlite. It just rained here yesterday & that's the first h20 they've gotten for several weeks. I actually thought I may not water them enough cuz I'm more of an "underwaterer" than overwaterer which seems to work well for mostly all others except for these??
