Pulled some pups off the sempervivum. I’m probably going to make a mini pot of them with a different substrate to see how they do - I think they’d like something well-draining much better than what the mother plant has (soil mixed with sand).

Uh oh, Azura bought (more) new plants

Those last ones, the Sempervivums, were free which was a nice surprise. They're also TINY, like, they all fit in the palm of my hand, and those smallest ones are literally the size of peas.
