I see you're new here, welcome. Pls. do some reading around here on mixes. While it's good that you're already using Cactus & Succulent mix (C&S for short), you will quickly see that many if not most of us here have learned to amend our C&S mixes (w/perlite or pumice, at least 30% or 50% to be safest), 'cause these days, commercial mixes have too much peat in them (kills out plants) &/or include wetting agents to retain water (also kills our plants). Others of us on here use mixes you'll see mentioned as Gritty Mix or variations of 5:1:1, things like that, which over time folks have learned worked well for them. Also some of these pre-made mixes contain fertilizer as well, which many of us wish to control ourselves rather than someone unfamiliar w/ our growing conditions. There are lots of opinions on mixes, but key & accepted by all of us is that to grow C&S, we need fast draining mix & what you've pictured above doesn't look like that. So that's an improvement that could be made easily & help the plants more that almost anything else one could try.

Agree with Mentha... Plant is aka Bear Paw (common name). Loves the gritty mix!

you might be better off.. starting a new post in the houseplant forum ... and posting pictures of your plant ... rather than hoping for an answer in a year old post that got no real answer .... since the poster never replied to junkie ... ken
