Yesterday, when visiting Longwood Gardens, I purchased three tender succulent plants in very small (2 inch diameter) pots: Echeveria prolifica, Echeveria 'Blue' and Pachyphytum compactum.

Each plant covers the entire surface of the pot, and one extends over the edge, so I am wondering whether I should re-pot them.

If repotting is advisable, does anyone have a recipe for a home-mixed potting mix? I would like to avoid purchasing yet another specific planting mix if possible. I have on hand a lot of sand, vermiculite, peat moss and planting mix used primarily for trees and shrubs.

Thank you.
