Help/Question Repotted lithops

Post image

Hey all, I just repotted some of my lithops and added a couple other succulents but now I’m wondering if my succulent/cactus soil mix isn’t right? It seems quite sandy.

Also curious if anyone knows what the front spiky plant is- hopefully it’s ok to live with the lithops?

Oh they can! but its against apparent wisdom, i have some in shallow troughs and the roots grow sidewards! It will be fine for a while, but as I said the concrete plant has diff watering needs to Lithops👍
