    I’m jealous haha. Yours is structurally way better off than mine is right now and we’re at similar growth stages.

      Thanks I just committed to the branches I liked and did some hard pruning. Now I’m gonna let it grow out for a couple months to thicken the trunk.

      That’s what I need to do also. I’m waiting for some little pots to arrive so I can plant some of my cuttings.

    What soil are you using? I bought a bag of what I thought would be good to grow my cuttings in, but the pieces of the soil components are massive and water instantly drains through the pot drainage hole.

      This one is in bonsai soil but my other ones are in a succulent mix that I make myself. 50% Standard Succulent Mix 20% Pumice 10% Zeolite 10% Perlite 10% Scoria This mix works good for me my plants love it, normal succulent mix has too much bark and gets soggy. Pumice + zeolite hold nutrients/water and perlite + scoria helps drain excess water and give the roots air. These plants live in the desert so I try to replicate that environment.
