Well good news so far no rotting of the newly planted semps it may just be in my head but I think the fan helped and dried off the plants pretty fast but also good to hear that others water there plants in too it will just take some time to get the hang of it.

You guys may be right about selling the pots with no plants at least online I could sell them potted up locally. I have been putting holes in the bottom for plants but they could be nice without holes too. I will let you know when I have some ready to sell I have been doing work for other people so have not had time to make any more maybe this weekend.

And Calin I agree with Chris once you start making the hypertufa pots it's hard to stop I think the hardest part for me is the curing process but if I get a few made each every week or so once the first ones start to cure then then you seem to have them ready all the time. I have started making some with color and this week I will have my first group of red pots ready to plant up.



Otter,
Thank you so much, everything I have read that you was asking, are the some things I needed to know. I know now that I am putting them to young in to much sun, and also I have to wait to water them. I thank you all for helping us new ones.
Is there a good place to buy these over the internet ?
I have got some off of Ebay, and I tell you not all come looking good..
Thanks Billy Perez

Welcome! Billy to ATP and the semp forum!!
There is actually a list of tried and true online nurseries that have been recommended by a good many of us that like to order our plants online.

@billyperez600 Here's the link to the post that Lynn, our moderator, made regarding a list of online nurseries. You will note that there are some places that sell way more than succulents and some that sell specifically sempervivums and sedum.

The thread "Succulent Nurseries" in Sempervivum forum

Finding that was easy; it was the cross pollination info that hurt my brain as to where to start looking...
