Thank you! Yep, all of my garden is made up of cactus/succulents. Most of them came from Home Depot or the local pharmacy/convenience stores. Typically the first thing I do is get them into bigger pots, so the poor things have some room to grow. The little cactus in the middle row on the shelving unit is in that relatively big pot because it had such a big root ball. I just re-potted it a couple weeks ago and it’s already got new growth.

I’ve killed a few of my plants, most have held up pretty well. I may even try lithops again, I recently learned that I was watering them too much/at the wrong times, as they like it really really dry!

That’s to funny most my plants came from Home Depot too. With some coming from the grocery store (that had to be replanted immediately because they were glued). I used to do a ton of stuff with jade plants and have been tempted by juniper bonsai more then once. It’s cool to watch them grow, it also kinda stinks when you kill them. But I think that happens in gardening more so from over watering (guilty). The Lithops are very cool and unique. I’ll post a picture of a water meter I just grabbed not to long ago, can’t be sure yet it’s helping yet though it seems to be. I even picked up a cool watering can to hopefully help not over watering. Give me a bit And I’ll post pics. Thanks again for sharing.
