Thank you, Greg!

Your picture shows just what we need to be on the lookout for.

I know right! Guess I'm the bad boy of the bunch! Actually though...this plant is a NOID and looks so bad one week, then I'll look again and its glowing and amazing, I wish I knew what it was, but its a great plant!! One of my favs, even though about 2 times per year it looks kind of "yucky"

Good helpful tip for those that may be worried!

Was that the before picture? Could we see the after too??

Great tip Greg. I have a few varieties that do the rot thing during our long months of rain. They do seem to recover once the drier weather arrives. Last week I redid the ones that are prone to rot. Going to dry something new this year in preparation for rainy season, to see if I can keep them from rotting.

Gonna give us a hint, Lynn?

Lavender and Old Lace, Lilac Queen are the two I have the most trouble with. They are such lovely semps I hate to give up on them.

Lynn, were you going to "dry something new..." this year or "try" something new?

Lynn does that with me to quite frequently then I remember that she is a grandmother and has over the years learnt how to ignore minor irritations in life. Plus that dry and try tells me she had an extra helping of sweet .

Great tip Greg!

Dry, try, they are so similar. And I was typing on my GD laptop.
I am going to try to mound the area for those semps, with a lot of gravel mixed in, and lots tucked up under there bottom leaves.

Hope I got it right this time. I'm back home on my own computer. Not that it will make much difference. Sometimes my fingers and mind don't work together to well.

I hear ya!
Lynn its a good idea! I know you'll let us know how this goes, are you doing it for next year, or now??

I will be moving them sometime in the next couple of weeks, so they have all summer to set good roots again. Then I will see how they do this next winter/spring. If they continue with the rot problem during rainy season I will find them new homes. They never die out, just look pitiful until warm, dry weather returns.

The one I have that does this, looks bad, but it is such a lovely semp in all other ways - its matt forming, sends out lots of chicks, and its small, but shaped like some of the larger ones, and not fuzzy at all, and I love the color! All reasons to hang onto it and enjoy! But good luck Lynn with this!!

I haven't given up yet.

I know - you're good!!

Evidently not so good so far, when it comes to these two semps.

Aw, sorry!

But there is hope, 416 other varieties that are doing well. Oops, I just got a box full of more varieties, not sure how many. Lots to be thankful for.

How nice is that!!! I guess since I didn't win the big prizes its time to get a bit of shopping in, just a bit!
