Is growing my Stoneface and sedum pork and beans in this ...

I’m a noobie plant caretaker, first time repotting some plants today, I decided totally try something different with these two since it seems to me they have similar needs water wise. Any tips in general for growing succulents in general too would be great. I’ve been using a spray bottle for most of my plants every few days until I finally found this app. #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

@Sutti hi Martin and welcome to the #GregGang #SucculentSquad

Since most of your plants are succulents, which do not require frequent watering. I’d recommend watering every 7-9 days. Always test the moisture level in all of your plants before watering and they must have drainage to prevent root rot.
Hey @Sutti i am a fan of the let my sedums and succulents soil dry out fully and the drench them and forget for a couple of weeks.

Personally I wouldn't have a lithops or Sedum in the same pot as they prefer different soil and watering schedules. It can work if you are more targeted with your watering than i am.
Hi there! I’d have to agree with @TheLonelyDaff, lithops are not very good companions with others for their different watering requirements.. for example I water my pork & beans 7-10 days but i haven’t watered my lithops in over 2 months. But like staff said it could work if you water one side & not the other. Beautiful plants, they all look happy & healthy ☺️
@YammieOf3 thanks for the warm welcome and tips!
@TheLonelyDaff Okay thank you, I will make sure to be extra careful and keep my eye on these two.
@Artistic_Stoner Thanks for the advice, I may separate the pair then as soon as I grab some more pots then. :)
@Sutti my pleasure, we’re all here to help in whatever way we can ! I know they are plain, but with succulents not liking to stay wet I’d recommend terracotta or concrete since they are the most porous. Good luck my friend & keep us updated on how your babies are doing 😁
Nope! Stone crop would want more water then split rock. In simple words, you’ll kill the splitrock soon.
