            Only just seen this.................
            Take care not to overwater them before they emerge Ian - it's the main cause of disappointment.

            I couldn't resist this succulent for 99p at the weekend - Pachyphytum fittkaui................

              I was rather taken by the creamy coloured bracts Strongy. It's not a genus I've grown before, but at 99p..............

                  I'm not sure if I posted these before. 20 x 8cm pots from the 99p shop. Not uber quality (but good enough) I like them because of the drainage...................

                  I also saw these..................
                  DSC_2544.jpg

                  I thought that they might be useful (for cuttings maybe) as the top has an adjustable vent. Two for 99p.

                    And the, pull-tie, side vent isn't ... that would annoy me!

                    Too picky by far!!That is just there for shipping. But..................a hole low down plus an adjustable air vent at the top equals airflow!
