Thanks - that nice thick taproot means eventually I can pot it to look more like a little succulent tree like this.
The longer I keep the taproot buried, the thicker and gnarlier it’ll get, so I’m waiting to grow a monster.

Good gracious it is gorgeous!!! Thanks for tagging me 
Don’t know if I told you but I rehomed mine 
It just was not liking my environment.

I LOVE your succulents. I think the red rocks call for a warmer, more coordinated frame, so a reddish pot, perhaps? (I do realise you don’t just repot plants on a whim for aesthetics).

Awe, I didnt know. This plant has gone bonkers this year.
Housesitter almost killed my orange tree, came back to just about all the leaves dead and fallen. Not her fault though, I’m still learning too.
I put it in the ground in October and I was told to water the hell out of it. I thought I was, and it was sustaining, while occassionally spitting out a few new leaves. Thought it was unusual so I pretty much tripled the water and it started growing like crazy.
So blessing in disguise, it’ll grow properly now from a good starting point.

Some lady at a meeting offered up some Plumeria cuttings 
she said to just stick them in a pot with some dirt.
Never heard of them.
She said they use the flowers for Hawaiian Lei
We’ll see what happens.

I’ll randomly decide I need to repot something 5 minutes before a work call
And I gotta do it NOW
Stenocactus multicostatus, which I believe has since been recategorized as echinofossulocactus. Both mouthfuls but I prefer the old name.
Anytime I repot something from 2+ years ago, I am absolutely APPALLED at the soil I used to use

On a roll lately…
I’ve always known this as echevaria dionysos, which it apparently is, but I did not know that it’s technically an echevaria purposum hybrid.
Anyhow. Used to have one a couple years ago that I grew to be pretty big and fat but it died. They have great flowers.
I saw this twin pair and had to get it. It’s rare to see them twin like this, they are usually solitary plants. I generally don’t go for leafy succulents but I like these ones.
Very happy with the overall arrangement but might remove the big rock and go minimalist.

I know some people working on native plant reforestation in desert-like southern Spain. The plants they plant are hardy natives which can withstand the heat and lack of water, but they also suffer in transplantation, so in the following days they may wilt, drop leaves…
What these people do in these cases is leave a hose open with only a very very small drip, aimed at the plant bowl, overnight. Mostly it’s only necessary to do this once, and the plant rallies incredibly.
Just an idea for you, in case your orange plant needs a bit extra TLC
