I think the top layer dries faster but I have not seen any bad results with it. Try to add more clay to the mix.

Found an Opuntia living in a rock. Thought I would share. I may use pieces of this kind of rock in my next mix.



And from another angle.

This area has primarily that type of rock. It shows promise for the opuntia in my collection. I will smash some up and try to sow some seeds in the resulting gravel.

Ferrel, for smashing rock I noticed you used a plastic box to prevent the pieces from flying everywhere. What did you put in the bottom to smash them against? I can't imagine the box would hold up for long otherwise.

It resembles basalt. You may try to find an eroding surface or a road cut, collect gravel there and save yourself a lot of trouble. I am lucky to have a huge mound of semi-degraded basalt near the place where I work and it makes for anything from 1/4 to 1/3 of my substrate.

It's a 4 inch piece of iron I got from work. I was messing up the cement underneath but that iron works great.

My lophs were squishy this morning,

Is this normal with stones?

I usually had them plump in a mix of soil sand and coir

None of mine are squishy. And I dont know how normal that is. Im playing this whole rock thing by ear. But I have seen nothing but good results with it. I will have to see how my oso locale seedlings doing in the coming days. They were transfered to rock a week and a half ago.

Yea mine are adjusting to the stones I'm guessing

They used to be at a lvl 10 of plump and hard

Now I'm guessing they are at a 7-8

I hope all goes well

The only ones that ive lost are astros in this rock mix. I should have mentioned that probably. I lost them a while back to rot. So maybe its not fool proof but I always expect tome to die. This has been the case with all my seed. Only the strong survive.

I thought I already updated here but apparently not.  Put my lightly variegated LW into the soil mix to see how it performs and am planning on using what little rock mix I have left to pot up a whole bunch of seedlings.  Meant to do it this weekend but I was away most of the time.  There's less than 5% perlite mixed in because I dumped all the rock mix into the same bucket I had just used to hold some perlite and I didn't feel like tossing it out.
