tarev said:Hi Gabe, at least it is cooling down there now, it prefers the cool season. Just try to protect from too much rain, but still outdoors. Maybe position a bit nearer to your house so it does not get too soaked if you get more rain than usual.

It is time to revive this post as there seems to be a chance that my houseleek might survive.

Well, not the actual main plant, but small offshoots have appeared.
My only concern is that the roots of the main plant dont seem to stick to the volcanic rock I am using. Shall I use a different soil/grit mixture for my houseleek?

Let me show you guys a photo of it:

Those little tentacle looking roots are drying off because they dont seem to be able to properly settle in the volcanic rocks I am using (there is not soil in it at all...it is just loose volcanic rocks).

What shall I do? Replant it in a 30% succulent soil and some other rocks? At this stage I dont want to replant it, since that might kill the offshoots. What do you guys think?
