i thought the stacking looked kool, but was informed that it was wrong, wrong, wrong.

then reading timber press Succulents, it turns out that stacking is perfectly normal-pics are interesting.

anyway, cut back hard on water and reabsorbtion began. third leaf is almost gone and top rock is sufficiently split to see flower stalk in center.

plant is in my usual mix of endlessly recycled potting soil so ancient it mostly consists of old roots and perlite.
