The crassulaceous plants have very different cultural requirements compared to the cacti. If it's dry enough for the cacti, it will be too dry for the Echeveria and the Jade. Wet enough for the Echeveria and the Jade is probably too wet for the cacti. Finding the balance point will be difficult, for you and the plants.

So allowing the Echeveria and Jade to live in the same Pot is fine?

So I have to worry less about over watering these guys, where as cacti prefer to really dry out before the next watering. Hmmm time to repot.

Thanks

Keep each plant in a separate pot and bury all of the small pots into a larger container. Fill in the space with perlite or gravel then add a top dressing.

This gives the illusion of a group planting while allowing you to tend to each plant's watering needs.

When one plant gets too large, take it out and replant/ rearrange as needed.

At this time of year we are watering them all the same. Once a week, and maybe twice. But I live in hot valley Calif. Jade and Echevieria love winter growing, the rain will take care of them, the cactus must be dry and cold in order to flower in the spring, so take that into consideratiion. I didn't look where you live. Okay I just looked I am also in Calif. zone 10 but a dry desert like climate, next to no humidity until just lately 100F today. I still water once a week, but not my cacti, I have no need to pump up my plants. Crasulady2
