I have perlite & have used it before.The only thing about perlite is it seems to always end up on the top of the pot after a while.This is the first time i've used that type of pot.Do they drain better than a solid pot or hold water.What's yall's advice on these lined pots? Seems like water & air would more easily be able to get to the soil through the (what are they lined with coconut hair or something).

I have a question of course, should i put the ones without roots 'Vera Higgins' & Sedum 'morganianum' in a different pot than the one they come out of until they root.

After letting them callous i have noticed the 'Vera Higgins' has dried out in a couple of placed along the long stems.I am going to have to cut them into a few place's.I have noticed this is one of the easiest plants to root & propagate.I am not sure about stem rooting the Sedum 'morganianum'.I have 1 piece of it that i had to cut the stem and it calloused faster & the leaves began to wither quickly.It's already in soil.Here's a picture of the 'Vera Higgins' they were fairly long & were hanging over the side of the pot.

The second picture,the middle stem up toward the top of the picture you can see were the stem looks withered.I will have to cut that off.It didn't look like that at least not enough that i noticed when i took these out of the pot.

Any advice or just let me know if I'm on the right track or anyone have any idea's they will be greatly appreciated!!
