Thanks! I tip my hat to you. Now I would like to see if it will bloom nicely in shade. The reason I have been putting it in sun before, I thought it may need it for the bloom. Will observe it further as it goes Smiling

Even at the nursery this past weekend, I do see they stack their succulents in such a way, that some succulents are really shaded, and some are in full sun. So I guess I have to observe that too, and position the plants I buy similarly once it goes into my garden.

That's thoughtful of you Tarev! (unlike me, who thinks about but then says "aw they'll be fine!" and then upset when they're not fine! Thumbs down Whistling )
I always wonder how long things have been where they are when I see them at nurseries. I always assume they're being moved around a lot, but they probably aren't Shrug!
I tip my hat to you.

Yeah that's true, inventory has to be moved every so often, even in nurseries. The thing I like in nurseries, you can get good sensible answers to specific growing questions. Big box stores..good luck if you even find one who truly knows what they are selling Hilarious!

Which is why nurseries' higher prices can be justified in that they provide plants and service!

I try to always buy from small nurseries rather than larger stores!!
