Thanks for the advice,

Tarev,I have looked for the different things that you have said you use in your soil and i simply can't find it. Confused I believe i've asked you more than once where you get the different things you amend your soil with.I have been adding everything i can find including different sized pea gravel,from very small to regular sized pea gravel.Pea gravel that looks like it's been tumbled or is smooth without the sharp edges.It helps a lot.The reason the soil in my pictures seems so wet is because well it is,the pot was put on the back porch,which is covered the night before i took the pictures & i took the pictures the next morning.I guess it could have been worse.I was out of town & when my daughter told me it had rained a week then stopped a few days & started back and had been raining about 8 or 9 days, i told her to get that pot out of the rain.She brought it in the house,i don't know which would have been better inside in the A/C or the porch?? Shrug!

The temp's here have dropped back down into the high 70's to the mid 80's but the humidity has stayed high.I am going to replant the peices today. Hurray! Everything else looks good in that pot.I had to move my pot of Sedum Rubrotinctum,didn't want them to rot.

Does anyone know of a on-line store thats not to expensive that i can buy the different things Tarev uses in her soil? I believe she said she got hers at some kind of specialty store?? :shrug:

Can't wait to get pictures of my plants to share.Inside i did have a lot of very dry Holiday Cactus i am tending to!!
A green thumb comes only as a result of the mistakes you make while learning to see things from the plants point of view!!
