Leptinella squalida is doing wonderfully on a flat, SW facing terrace covered in bark (i.e., bark dust, but not the powdery sort of bark dust, more like chips). I started last year with five 4" pots, and the area covered is now about 12' by 5'. I add a fine layer of bark occasionally, which seems to make it thicken. I water it only occasionally (Mother Nature has taken care of watering it so far this year). It tolerates normal, human day-to-day trips to the compost pile, but was rather unhappy when there were many big men in boots trampling over it to replace windows and then paint the trim. It blooms most of the time. I plan to let it keep going!
