Thumbs up Awesome. I really do need to learn more about the grapto plants. There are so many of them, and many crosses. I think it would take a lifetime to get it all figured out.

Patty this is my first time and they are so small that I have to use artificial means to keep an eye on them Smiling . I like succulents in general, now the next part will be how to get them through when temps reach 45c. Anything for self torture Shrug! .
Lynn as far as I can make out and Bev too, Tarev. She is really into the depths of these Graptos.
Something else to bother.

I'm the same, I've got a batch of cacti seedlings with I've virtually ignored, and as you'd expect are now virtually dead. Yet I have to check on my baby semps ever day. Hilarious!

I agree I love several of my baby succulents - just didn't keep up on misting or watering them even, but my semps look amazing! Thumbs up Whistling

Mine are in clear plastic cups and while the top mulch layer looks quite dry the lower sand layer remains moist. I water them by dipping the cups once every ten days or so. As to misting, every second or third day depends upon the condensation I can see on the domes.
Mine are doing quite well but the growth rate is way to slow. By the time I finish raising them I will also be going, Oh! How cute my babies look Lovey dubby Lovey dubby Lovey dubby Lovey dubby Glare
Raising a human child was easier. Shrug!

Hurray! I am getting a few seed packets flown in from Calif. except they seem to have been dispatched via turtles back along with the yapper/bark stopper. That runt of a mutt will drive me around the bends by the time it reaches here.

As to the marks, that is the handiwork of one frustrated Maggy. Their season has started and he is way to young.

Arif.

Aw very cute Arif! This type of puppy requires so much exercise! If you're able to keep that up, he'll be a little bit more enjoyable I bet! I tip my hat to you.

Greg ~ I think you should think about expanding your horizons ... Poor Maggy could use your help, I'm sure, and you could visit Arif's other babies as well.

Arif he's gorgeous! Lovey dubby

I must post pics of my baby semps later - it's their 8 week birthday today and I'm going to thin them out because they are practically crawling over each other.
