Those succulents are nice. Can’t help you with a name though. I’ve been on a big succulent kick for a while. I was bummed because some props that I’ve been growing for the past few months got totally roasted in too much sun/heat the other week. I’ll see if any make it. If not, I guess I’ll just snatch some more leaves from corporate landscaping.

That's a shame to hear that those babies got cooked, hopefully you have some real fighters in the bunch.

I found the prop lifting subreddit the other day and was pretty darn impressed with the stuff that some people have managed to cultivate from scraps.

Life, uh, finds a way.

When I decide to put the ones I have in a different pot what should I look for for potting mix? Is there a bag labeled just for succulents?

People recommend high drainage soil. I just get the cactus mix and use that for everything. I also have a bag of pearlite that I mix in sometimes. I have a succulent-fiend neighbor who seems to just use regular soil.
