Thanks.

I'm a succulent novice. I try to get interesting things I can use as pots. I use hole saw bits on my drill and they require water as you drill.

The top dressing is the only thing I can find near me... Crushed granite sold as chicken grit at Tractor Supply stores. I like the purplish color of the granite though.

I don't remember where I got the plant originally. No tag though. I think it got sunburned last year so I didn't repot. I thought it might die. It seems to have come through. But in my attempt to do mass-repotting, a freak storm cell opened up a few days ago and soaked everything. The soil held water for days so against my better judgement, I decided to repot today as we have more storms coming tomorrow. After knocking off soil. I dusted the roots with dry succulent mix to wick off as much moisture before repotting. Fingers crossed that damage wasn't done. A larger one had already turned to jelly in the center.
Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.
