Just a side note, Jojoe - next time you water your plant, I'd pull it out of its pot and see how wet it really is. So many of the commercial mixes are *really* tough to re-wet once they've dried, so your plant might not be getting as much water as you think.

Greg, it sounds like "light watering" is probably working great for you, but I had always been told to absolutely soak succulents when watering and then let them dry thoroughly - I'd love to hear your thoughts on that?
In the end, only kindness matters.

Science is not the answer, it is the question.
