Gardening is like cooking. To improve, you need to be willing to make mistakes and experiment. Also, common names are garbage. Zone 9b, West Sac, CA.

This one's leaves are getting smaller, suggesting that the roots are crowded. Need to transfer her to a larger container so she'll be happier. An easy, fast grower with light green to glaucous leaves. Magenta, poppy-like flowers (produced spring to fall) bob aloft spikes up to 2' ft tall. A single mature plant can have a 3' ft spread. If you have a succulent-friendly climate and have room to spare, I highly recommend this beauty. Short-lived (2-3 yrs) but easily propagated via stem cuttings.
In order words, mutilate them before they die so that they may keep living.
A customer once asked me to recommend some plants for a full sun location. I started recommending #rockpurslane, but when she heard "#succulent" she shut me down, stating that she wanted #flowers. I couldn't help myself and suggested that she clearly isn't familiar with #succulents. She then told me to find someone else who could help her. I was more than happy to oblige, 'cause she was clearly an ignoramus. #Calandrinia-spectabilis #flower #pink 2May2019

Among the four, this #rockpurslane is the one I've been the most excited about. If you've seen it in bloom, you might feel the same way. (I've sold quite a few of these at work, actually.) #Calandrinia-spectabilis Check out this glowing review: https://www.anniesannuals.com/plants/view/?id=1930 #succulentsunday (17Mar2019)
