Time for these babies to get indoor. They've grown outdoor basking in full sun for 6 months.

      That is Echeveria Raindrop. I'm glad she's grown a little, lol! ♥️

    Also, LOVE all your plants. I went through your photos! What do you recommend for poting succulents and cacti in? (Especially lithops) I've always just used what's available to me and even made some of my own mixes. But I have some ready for a repot and I want to up my soil mix game.

      This is going to be a long reply, ok? Lol! What I've learned from my succies is that you can use whatever soil mix you have, as long as it's gritty with perlite and pumice. I have played with Cactus Palm and Citrus soil, to Rosy Succulent Mix to regular organic mix, adding 70% perlite and pumice to any mix. I tend to over water so safe bet for me is that ingredient. Although, using those gave me fungus gnats invasion 🤣. I do have my favorite, Fat Plants (coco coir and perlite) from Amazon because they're fluffy and airy and no gnats. I still add perlite and pumice to it. I also use it to my houseplants. Also, all my succulents have very very shallow rooting, so on that planter, I have them in bottom half pumice and then topping it off with my Fat Plants mix. Same thing with Lithops, just grittier with pumice. Hope I answered your question 😅.

      Thank you! I have regular cactus and succulent mix that I need to use up. I will definitely pick up a bag of pumice to mix in with it! I trick I heard works for fungus gnats is to put a mosquito dunk in your watering can and water all your plants with it. I haven't had the need to try it yet but they said it works great.
