Help with some Cacti & Succulents
Evening guys
We have been gifted the below plants and not having had a lot of experience with cacti & succulents I wanted to give them the best chance of survival.
The pots all have gritted cacti soil, all the pots have drainage holes.
The pot with the 3 plants, we have sitting in a West facing window, I suspect this may not be suitable as it will only get a couple of hours of evening sun, I did think of adding a cheap LED light to help it out.
The other 3 sesperate plants are on the kitchen window that faces east so gets morning and early PM sun.
I have ordered cacti food and a moisture measurer and am looking at a cheap LED light for the pot withe the 3 plants to supplement the light in the front window.
My questions are, are they plants OK together and are they placed in the correct locations for their types.
Looking online I think these are
Parodia leninghausii
Echeveria
Haworthiopsis limifolia
fishhook cactus
Mammillaria backebergiana
Thanks in advance

Those all need slightly different ideal conditions, e.g. the mamillaria wants full sun, but the haworthia will be happier in dappled sun. They're fine together if you want. Definitely get them in the light though.
Careful watering is the key with these, let them dry out and don't allow them to sit in wet compost. The haworthia look like the compost is right up to the bottom of the leaves, it's generally better to top the pots off with grit so that the leaves never sit on damp ground.
Haworthia are great!
Thanks
