Upthread, I mentioned the importance of your soil choice and touched on how significant it can be in determining how satisfied you might be with the results of your efforts. I think that mixing 50% peat with "cactus soil", and there really is no determining how appropriate that soil is w/o looking at it and an at least some understanding of soils, is a step in the right direction, but falls short of what's possible with a little better understanding. Mixing fine particles and large particles that don't absorb water dies decrease water retention, to be sure a good thing, but it doesn't significantly increase aeration, drainage (flow-through rate), or the height of the perched water table. That's all explained in the link I left upthread. To answer your question about appropriate pot size ..... that is something not determined by the size of the plant or the size of the pot it was previously in, it's determined by soil choice. Here is a copy/paste job of something I wrote a long time ago on another forum: How large a container can or should be, depends on the relationship between the mass of the plant material you are working with and your choice of soil. We often concern ourselves with "over-potting" (using a container that is too large), but "over-potting" is a term that arises from a lack of a basic understanding about the relationship we will look at, which logically determines appropriate container size. It's often parroted that you should only move up one container size when "potting-up". The reasoning is, that when potting up to a container more than one size larger, the soil will remain wet too long and cause root rot issues, but it is the size/mass of the plant material you are working with, and the physical properties of the soil you choose that determines both the upper & lower limits of appropriate container size - not a formulaic upward progression of container sizes. In many cases, after root pruning a plant, it may even be appropriate to step down a container size or two, but as you will see, that also depends on the physical properties of the soil you choose. Plants grown in slow (slow-draining/water-retentive) soils need to be grown in containers with smaller soil volumes so that the plant can use water quickly, allowing air to return to the soil before root issues beyond impaired root function/metabolism become a limiting factor. We know that the anaerobic (airless) conditions that accompany soggy soils quickly kill fine roots and impair root function/metabolism. We also know smaller soil volumes and the root constriction that accompany them cause plants to both extend branches and gain o/a mass much more slowly - a bane if rapid growth is the goal - a boon if growth restriction and a compact plant are what you have your sights set on. Conversely, rampant growth can be had by growing in very large containers and in very fast soils where frequent watering and fertilizing is required - so it's not that plants rebel at being potted into very large containers per se, but rather, they rebel at being potted into very large containers with a soil that is too slow and water-retentive. This is a key point. We know that there is an inverse relationship between soil particle size and the height of the perched water table (PWT) in containers. As particle size increases, the height of the PWT decreases, until at about a particle size of just under 1/8 inch, soils will no longer hold perched water. If there is no perched water, the soil is ALWAYS well aerated, even when the soil is at container capacity (fully saturated). So, if you aim for a soil (like the gritty mix) composed primarily of particles larger than 1/16", there is no upper limit to container size, other than what you can practically manage. The lower size limit will be determined by the soil volume's ability to allow room for roots to 'run' and to furnish water enough to sustain the plant between irrigations. Bearing heavily on this ability is the ratio of fine roots to coarse roots. It takes a minimum amount of fine rootage to support the canopy under high water demand. If the container is full of large roots, there may not be room for a sufficient volume of the fine roots that do all the water/nutrient delivery work and the coarse roots, too. You can grow a very large plant in a very small container if the roots have been well managed and the lion's share of the rootage is fine. You can also grow very small plants, even seedlings, in very large containers if the soil is fast (free-draining and well-aerated) enough that the soil holds no, or very little perched water. I have just offered clear illustration that the oft repeated advice to 'only pot up one size at a time', only applies when using heavy, water-retentive soils. Those using well-aerated soils are not bound by the same restrictions. Al

Sorry I'm late to the thread, I just answered your other post of this at HP. As I said there, I missed the use of the word 'juicy'. That usually means mushy & if so, that's rot, & means the plant is goner indeed, so sorry. It appears that's why it has collapsed, 'cause it has softened into mush. (Could be the mix also has some wetting agent which MG sometimes contains which would keep the mix wet, which one would not want for a succulent.) I suspect if you try & remove some leaves it'll just fall apart in your hands. :

Whoa! I just found your response on my cell phone & had my mouth hanging at the first part of me being rude. Yikes! Had to come to my laptop to respond (with ALL my fingers typing). Was going to say "why do I bother trying to help, gathering information", etc. ? Glad I didn't see it till after more comments/responses were made. I was really starting to wonder why I would give up my time, my knowledge, my photos, my research for those who don't appreciate it. Yes, I'm on a rant here. Rhamel & Colleen, thank you for your support & comments. I am calming down now. I am glad you apologized, Dacocoa. Sorry you received bad news. I tried to point out that the previous post did not identify your plant as 'Royal Highness'. Other IDs were given. I tried to give you information to support what I was trying to say. Maybe I should've inserted some happy faces in there somewhere. I was trying to hurry with my response of a lot of information, so I could get back to my household chores. So, in conclusion... Peace, out!

I would have suggested the same, or G. beguinii (A. aristata x Gasteria carinata var. verrucosa). Not sure if they are different, as I couldn't find exact parentage for Flow (saw same listed as for G. beguinii). The edges of your plant seem to be very smooth - are there any teeth on them? Here is my that was ID-ed as 'Flow": Found a photo of G. beguinii -See here-
