Hi Al, sorry I didn’t word it well, I was putting my comments to two different messages from Nick and Phil and suggesting a reason that I had heard somewhere for the light watering that he referred to, not that he did himself.

Nick, Is the light watering to give plants time to grow the new fine roots needed to soak up the water? Or have I misheard something? (I’m thinking of echeveria if it makes a difference) Phil_SK, do you know if there is any kind of guide to how long the soil should take to dry out? I have heard some...

Thanks Ed, The layout isn't the best all in a grid like that, doesn't look very natural but I need to make space for all the seeds haha. I usually water them all together so hopefully it's ok. The next one I do will have a bit more variety in it. Also hope I don't see a mealybug any time soon.
