Greg,thanks for the great idea.Gives me time to decide which plants will grow best together & look best together. I do have 1 plant that i have more problems with than any other it's a graptoveria (i haven't found much on it 'titubans').The plant is to big & heavy for it's container,it was constantly being knocked over or just falling over and the plant comes out of the little pot including soil,which is compact, there's no loose soil. I don't water them often but this plant doesn't seem to soak up any water when i do or at least it's dry in less than 24 hrs. I have thought since it's under lights, in a some what climate controlled environment it could handle being placed in a slightly larger,heavier pot by simply removing it from the pot it's in without disturbing it & putting it in another pot close to the same height & fill in around the plant,not watering for a good 2-3 weeks afterward.Seems like it can't be any worse than the tumbles & falls it's taken.I rigged up a bigger pot for it to sit in without falling over.

Sorry i got so wordy *Blush* I tend to do that Whistling

Tarev, what are the plants in pictures 2 & 3 ? In pic. 2 in the corner you can see a glimpse of another plant Echeveria runyonii 'topsy turvy'? I recently noticed that this plant is zoned for 8a 10-15* F.I didn't realize they were that cold hardy.They are one of the succulents that appreciate a little shade correct?

I may ask questions about potting plants now but don't misunderstand,i'm not doing it now.We have about 2 months left until it starts warming up.Just getting my ducks in a row,this being the first time i've grown this type of succulents,they have made it this far don't want to mess up potting them
A green thumb comes only as a result of the mistakes you make while learning to see things from the plants point of view!!
