that is genius and I am gonna do this from here on out. Thanks for sharing!I finally had a plant in a solo cup long enough to share this... I like to put a layer of perlite in my solo cups when I drop seeds... this creates a layer between the cup and the main root mass... this works particularly well when you cannot always transplant immediately into larger pots... This allows me to separate circling roots with relative ease, and without shocking the plant... it also allows me to really pack in the myco as well...
Note: The coloration of my roots is due to the brand and amount of mycorrhizae I use... The roots up top are White and healthy.
PSS: I don’t typically like to wait this long to txplant but I was waiting on more pots to show up, since I clearly have an issue planting beans I have no business popping

Ooooo do you have photos of your succ garden?!In our greenhouse out back we raise succulents and cacti and thats how all our pots are done, usually with course gravel instead of perlite.
Definitely keeps roots content.
I love all the cactii, @Skunky Dunk Farms !
I've just started messing with them. I bought this at about 1-1/2" high a year or so ago and threw it in coco under 20 watts of screw-in LED bulbs. It gets what my cannabis gets for food. It was getting tall and I was concerned bout getting top heavy so I topped it.(all of this with no research, just fucking around)

The topped bit got tossed on top of another pot and basically forgotten. Maybe a month later I went to bin it and found it had rooted. Going to top this one a lot lower and see what develops.

I want to expand my knowledge, but know nothing right now, other than they appeal to me (resilient, prickly, loner... i wonder what the connection is? ). The San Pedro cactus has caught my eye for obvious reasons but I haven't picked one up yet.Yeah they are resilient plants, many loss there roots annually and regrow in spring.
Haworthia and Euphorbia are my favorite families.
As a gateway for my knowledge, if you don't mind, what about those two families appeal to you.
Is there a black liquid glue or pinstriping tape that would work to cover pin holes along the zipper of my tent? Or just duct tape the heck out of it.
In soil or for bugs?
