I'm not new to gardening, but I am relatively new to desert plants. After two days of research (including Reddit posts) and using AI to formulate a proper mix, this is what I came up with (my crib notes), and I would like to get experienced human opinions on it before I continue.
(I would include a picture of this little guy, but Reddit is having a moment. I'll try to add it to the comments.)
