Gill is right. Give it time, it only just moved. It's probably still unpacking all its stuff. You will probably not see this plant really kicking in until next summer.

Nice bloom but I understand you frustration. I am learning with my young ones to be patient. Yours looks great you were lucky with transplanting and still getting buds so early. Like the color too

I am with Gill and Pagan on this. You still have a few months of good growing time. It will come around. Looking so good.

Thank you all! I will be patient and happy with blooms so far. I'm very pleased also.

i do not fertilize, I have never fertilized any of my succulents, I'm afraid the DR (as well as others) will get that weak, too quickly grown, leggy look. Perhaps it's not a valid fear, just something I've heard through the years.

anyway, I'm going to let it do its thing this year and will ask your advise in the future if I need to

thanks!!!!'

If it's in gritty mix with little or no organic component then what has it got to feed any booms and future growth with? IMHO you will need to feed this plant after a while else it may well struggle and not grow to its full potential. There's plenty of info on the forum as regards to which product is best as I believe you hail from the US (you can add some location details after your name btw via your homepage which helps us)....so try a dynagro foliage pro search for starts. It depends on the type of feed you chose, its strength and frequency of use as to whether anything grows tall and leggy! Anything confined to a pot needs feeding at some point or regular repotting/top dressing with soil with food already in it to thrive.

Oh okay, thanks for info. It's in 50/50 MG/perlite. The Miracle gro has some fertilizer in it already but by next summer I bet it will need it

yes, I'm in Alabama, USA. I messed up putting my zone after my name, took 2 times not it says I can't change my name for a YEAR! But I'll start adding my location in my posts, thanks
