I am having much less luck with semps than with sedum. Confused
Pretty sure I did the shade cloth wrong the first time so I redid it and now I have a double layer of the thin white shade cloth you can buy by the foot running from about 3 ft up on the wall diagonally down across the bed to the ground.

I brought home two new semps with the cloth but it looks like I'm already losing the ones I planted Sunday. Hopefully they recover! Holding off on getting more until I figure something out. I'm afraid I'll need to move them into pots or something - no more space in the yard yet. :sad:

How deep is a "deep" watering? Sorry if this is the dumbest question ever. Like - how long should the soil still be wet for afterwards? One day? Two? This block of the yard dries out very fast.

I'll edit in some pics when I get inside.

Burnt (?) semps (I think the first two are a Fire Dragon and a Topaz):
