I went to get some cactus soil to set these guys up again as well as all of my other cacti and succulents in insuitable soil, but they hadn't any. I read online somewhere that when the tips of the leaves start to go red, its a sign roots are about to come so hopefully I can get some soil before they shoot out!

I'm having a go at propergating succulents and im starting to wonder if the conservatory I'm keeping in them is getting too hot and drying the soil out too quickly. If I spray at 08:30 and my midday theyre bone dry again!

sarajordan2993: @cclecombe - not a problem , anything i can do to help 😊
cclecombe: @sarajordan2993 Ah! Thank you so much! That's really helpful. I'll grab some different soil tomorrow and start over!
meriunkat: 😅 the same thing is happening to mine, but don't worry they don't need to be wet too often when you begin propagating, only spray water after you see them growing roots so it won't rot right now.
sarajordan2993: do they already have roots ? it looks like they dont , but my eyes are horrible . firstly , dont water them until you start to notice roots . when they start to root , only water maybe 2 times per week . succulents dont like a lot of water as we all know , so cuttings wont be any different . i noticed also that you may have them in peat moss ?? if so , peat moss is very known for retaining moisture & squeezing the air out of the soil; therefore, creating an unhealthy environment for any type of plants . your best bet is to get a regular potting soil (miracle gro, etc) & mix equal parts of that with perlite & sand . ( 1 part soil , 1 part perlite , 1 part sand ) . i really hope this helped!

So i have this euphorbia trigona. i accidentaly left it in the rain for about ten minuets as soon as i saw this i took the plant out of the wet soil and put it in dry soil. Was this the right thing to do?

sarajordan2993: if you have super high temps during the day , the soil should dry out . if it doesnt within about 5-7 days , replant . if you replant , itll only disturb the roots & plant itself . it does more harm to replant , than having wet soil
sunnyzou: nothing to be worried.actually no need to replant

A little shoot found when changing the soil. You can just barely see it popping out of the soil at about 7 'o' clock (bottom left).

Finally in a terracotta pot. Feel a bit bad about putting in a pot without proper draining soil for a while. Hopefully it will be fine.

Reported in a terracotta pot. Didn't have enough soil, but I think it will do.
