I ordered just one conophytum Maughanii, and ended up getting sent five instead! Do the ones in the teeny pots need to be repotted right away too? and, for the one that I did repot already, should I have done anything differently? Any tips appreciated!

As an aside: I was the one that posted the Burgeri 2 weeks ago, it’s made a pretty solid recovery so far once I started misting it lightly daily, I’m still very much a newbie though, and any tips for either species are appreciated!
Additionally, would it be possible/beneficial to put multiple Maughanii in the same pot if they are roughly this size? I don’t want to overpot it but this was the smallest size I could get ahold of easily.
Damn talk about a come up! I personally recommend a more inorganic mix. Pumice 90%, worm castings or sifted compost 10%. Also, it’s a good idea to take them out of the soil after shipping and wait a few days and then re pot. It’s not always a big deal but a good habit to get into in case there is anything going on with the plant from shipping. They look really nice!
Seconding that they need a change of soil. No peat moss, lots of rocks
1/3 each miracle grow moisture control potting soil, pumice, and builders sand. Been using this for years!
Where you ordered them from? Those seems like a good size the ones I got from china are 15 shipped for 5 o so
WHAT. STOP. I NEED. THEM.
