Hopefully I will. I have been in contact with the seller and he said....'The variegated seeds are just as easy to germinate and this variety does not need any different aftercare. The variegation may not appear at the seedling stage though, and sometimes will not develop at all! I have more variegated types on order, 'Star of Top' is an interesting one, the leaves will go white if they have too much sun, although I can't see that happening in the UK!'...and on that point I agree with him entirely! Karyn, I noticed that yours appears to be more of a yellow/green combination, or is just the lighting? I take it that you have yet to see it in flower, do you know what colour the flowers will be? Gill from the UK.

Yea. I decided to put them all in pots and I moved them to the front of my house which faces south. Lots more sun. I'm still worried about them getting sunburned. Succulents at the local nursery here are all out in the sun and are doing just fine. When I put mine in the sun they start to get spots on them. I assume that they aren't used to it yet. So I guess we will just see.

Most use a 'gritty mix' - and many variations of it, depending on what substrates are available to them. The idea is to understand why to mix your own and why 'gritty' - how it works, and then it is easier to adjust, not only for availability of different material but also for climate/conditions they are grown in. If you search for gritty mix on this forum, there are hundreds threads on the subject. Here is just one of them:-click here- -and/or here- It explains about both 5-1-1 and gritty (1-1-1) mixes.

Fertilizing a medium that allows you to water freely to beyond the point where your soil is completely saturated (so you're 'flushing' the soil when you water) without having to worry the soil will remain soggy for extended periods, is very different, less complicated, and more forgiving of grower error, than soils you have to fight tooth and nail for control over your plants vitality (health). To illustrate how stark the difference is, I can describe or prescribe a very easy, flexible, and extremely effective fertilizing plan in a paragraph or two if I know you're using a medium that allows you to water correctly. I can take a little longer and describe to you how to deal with excessive water retention, at least to the degree that it allows you to fertilize effectively. If you are limited in your ability to water correctly, and aren't taking steps to foil your soil's tendency to hold excessive amounts of water, no one can offer meaningful advice on how to approach nutritional supplementation without producing a tome full of qualifying comments to cover the myriad combinations of issues likely to affect how much of their potential your plants can realize. Leibig's Law of the Minimum states that the nutritional or cultural influence that is most lacking is what is limiting your plant. It could be a nutrient, temperature, light levels, insects ......... A very large fraction of growers are limited by their soil choice and watering habits. There are soils that are good, better, and nearly best, all of which allow the grower to water correctly. If you remain interested in plants, my best advice would be to learn how to make your soil work for you, instead at cross purposes with your intentions. It will make a world of difference in how quickly you progress in the hobby. This Basic Overview might be of interest. Al
