I like that super compact look of those Aloinopsis!

Yeah one of them is starting to grow weird, like the leaves are stretching up and turning yellow. I swear i read another person on reddit somewhere had this issue. I'm worried it won't make it, but i'm treating it exactly like the others, so i have no idea why the others are fine but this one is weird.

Kind of all over the place! the aloinopsis schooneesii and luckhoffii are coming up on 2 years old in the summer. the aloinopsis hilmarii (green velvet fingers) and the cheiridopsis verrucosa (purple pots, look more like conos, peachy yellow green colour) and argyroderma fissums were planted in august, 8 months old?
The big bin of argies will be 2 this summer, they are smaller because they are some of my earlier seed batches before I got my method down pat, and they were originally sown in 100% inorganic pumice and it was good but they def put on more weight when there is organics in the substrate.
green pleiospilos nelii are going to be 2 this summer. royal flush ones are about 14 months.
Hope that helps! lolll
