It is well past time to bring the Ledebourias out from under lights into the sun.
Here is Ledebouria agavoides from Lebona in NE South Africa in a 9" tall clay pot of pure pumice
Very nice, Rimmer! Do you grow all of your Ledebourias in pure pumice?
I've moved away from perlite to pumice, but usually it's only about a third of my mix even for things that need fast drainage.

This one needs the free drainage, most are in a sandy pumice mix, with little to no organics (sifted peat)
Ledebouria agavoides A few days later

Actually I bought this
Ledebouria concolor as some sort of by-catch - and because I didn't have any LEDs (like the nickname a lot) and I have that tick that I try to be pretty complete in my genera (mind you not species - I'd need to dig over the whole neighborhood). I'm mostly happy with it, but I feel I have to find a way to keep the leaves intact...
