What kind of sun exposure do you give yours, Melissa? Love it!

Here's mine I planted in May.

I do have areas where I get the sun all day long. I think maybe I will take one of my gold nuggets and move them to that area. Be interesting to see if there is a difference.

I took some photos of my Gold Nuggets a couple of days ago.

They are starting to get very pretty.

These are some offsets. I love how they are so identical right now.

They look great, Melissa!

My last Gold Nugget was taken by a rodent of some kind. I'm really having trouble with the critters. it's depressing.

Gorgeous, Melissa. My single rosette is starting to look pretty cool too.

Ignore the plantain photobombing in the back. Thumbs down

I don't know what mine look like right now. I'm starting to miss the semps.

I'm having so much fun watching Gold Nugget. Hope to get some chicks from this one next year.

Two of my gold nuggets. The second one is an offset of the first one. Both in same potting mix and getting same sun exposure. Go figure.

Beautiful photos Melissa. The difference could be age?

Looking forward to seeing what mine look like now. Two more weeks and I will see all my semp babies again.

Here is my pot of 'Gold Nugget' I got the semps on clearance in early December. I moved them into better soil and they seem to be adjusting well since it's winter. The is an 'Alchemist' in the pot too back by the plant tag.
