Greg,I just love it when you chime in with idea's or your opinions.To be honest i have no idea what i'm doing (at least i feel that way) I hope what i've done so far looks like i have it imagined in my head.I like plants that have a way of mounding when they bloom.In the case of the semps & jovi's they look great because they grow in a mound.

It's suppose to rain the next 2 days so i didn't plant the semp today but i couldn't help myself,i pulled it out of the pot and it has a large root ball all babies are still attached good.I think i will plant as is & let the babies grow bigger.I have never seen what they do.When do they come loose from the parent plant and start their own family?Is it easier to help them along like you said Greg,plant a couple close by.

I have 4 that a lady pulled off her plant & gave me.I kept them in a pot all summer but now they are doing great in my bed,when are they old enough to have babies.
This is them last summer.

if Anyone recognize this semp,i don't know it's name and would appreciate any idea's!!
A green thumb comes only as a result of the mistakes you make while learning to see things from the plants point of view!!
