Your sans look exactly like the ones I purchased last year at Wal-marts. I believe they are called Futura Black Gold. They look good with the extra yellow stripes in the leaves.
Your mix sounds great but leave out the peat. Sans don't like the peat part. Holds too much moisture. You want the quick draining mix so that water is never a problem. Your area is great for growing sans outdoors 9 months out of the year. Some leave them out all year but it really tares them up.
Oh and congratulations on the new grandchild. How great that is. Hope all is well with you and your daughter?

Dogpack,
What is your K plant? Also don't be impatient with plants. Don't kill with love. Sit back and enjoy.

Kalancho B????? something I can't remember right now. I barely watered it and it still rotted. It is, what is left of it sitting on top of the soil which is a cactus mix. The stalk has started to produce another small piece which I think may become a leaf. With only about an inch or two left of the original plant, I hope it survives. A friend gave a larger plant of this type to me which has yellow flowers. This plant is doing well. I now understand how little water this plant requires. It has been a very long time since I've had succulents. I'm figuring out that the soil, amount of water, humidity, and many other aspects of the environment have everything to do with how well a plant will survive and thrive.
