If you can keep the baby plants undercover, there is no reason why you can't pot up some of the small rosettes now. They all come with tiny roots, ready to start growing. I've just potted up some new sempervivums in my greenhouse and will leave them out there over winter. They prefer a gritty compost.....I mix JI no1 with some grit (50/50) and that seems to work well.
That's a beautiful collection of plants you have there.
I thought the nostrils were eyes in the first pic. Makes much more sense now I like the 2 tier pot too. Once the top one is hidden it looks really effective.

I thought that too - it looked like a smiley wee face I had a nice pot like that - it eventually fell apart a few years ago.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

What's the little ornament you have @johnrimm, if you don't mind me asking?

Yes, it is a chicken, with the hens and chicks - as we know them from our Yorkshire past.
We cannot believe how much these have grown this year - here is a photograph from back in April...
Thanks again, I have plenty of John Innes and potting grit - so I will have a go at some cutting later this week.
Thank you for your time and best wishes, John
