Next step?

Posted by Roop NSW Aust (My Page) on

Have just purchased half a dozen of the tiniest little potted succulents at $1.90 ea from Bunnings garden section.
They look so cute at 2-3 cm high in baby pots approx 3cm dia. I'd really like them to survive and prosper. Do they need to come out of these tidgie pots immediately or do I wait for them to get bigger before transferring to larger pots? Also what dia. pots should they go into? Would it be OK to put the lot into one larger pot? I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

RE: Next step?

Keep them in the shade for a bit. I bought some from bunnings a little while back, 5 in total, and planted them straight into my full sun cactus garden. I have since rescued the sole survor and transfered it back into a pot in semi shade, it is recovering nicely. Pot them into bigger pots if you like, they will benefit. They should do OK if you slowly acclimatise them to the sunny conditions.
Dave.
