You are really going to town Lyn. Thumbs up

The first photo does look a bit wet to me. Especially if very high temps are on the way. Don't expose the container to full sun, let the soil dry out before watering again. In high temps I think I would just mist the container early in the morning, just enough that the top of the soil looks moistened. Maybe some other members will show up that are in areas with your type of weather, and will be able to give better advice for your conditions.

Your Dragon's Blood looks like it needs a bit more sun? Any container you put it in will need drain holes, otherwise the roots could rot. Also the color is not right for Dragon's Blood. But I can't tell if it is pale from lack of sun? I looks like the edges of your are smooth, instead of toothed? Hard to tell from the photo. Maybe you could get us a close up of some of the leaves?
Here is what it should look like. Two-Row Stonecrop (Phedimus spurius 'Schorbuser Blut')
