Nice setup.. 
Btw, previously how and where did you grow them before moving them to the pots?
Ok, time for a "fashion glitter and glam make-up transformation" thing.
H. Retusa:
It started out as a dried out plant with zero roots (I forgot to water for ~3 months)
I put it in the windowbox, which has the bottom half being regular gardening soil mix, top half is gardening soil mix with 10% perlite.
After a weeek or two (I think, or maybe a month or two. They grow slowly sometimes):
And then now it is all green, chubby and juicy and putting out lots of pups.
Haworthia cymbiformis:
This one had to get some extra care from me
Started out as this cutting
I had it in the windowbox, but I had a few strands of sphagnum around it after it had a few baby roots.
After a few weeks:
And now:
I don't have 'after photo' of Mutica,
but here is a photo of when I first got it. No roots, no pups. One flower stalk though
Now, it is all chubby and has like 8 baby pups.
I keep my haworthia windowbox in an area with lightly dappled shade in the summer. Do note that in late summer I moved it to full sun for around a month or two and then I moved it in for the winter. Currently, it sits on the floor of the sunroom. It does not get a lot of light but they do not seem to mind.
