Each pan looks like a miniature rock garden planted in those pans Linda.

Jread, if keeping your plants indoors, just do not water them unless you see leaves on the outside of the rosette drying up, then only a sip. They can go a long time without water. No water and they won't try to grow too much and get leggy. Also, you are in zone 5, so they should be OK outdoors - just cover with snow. I wouldn't put them out now, however, due to the sudden temp change that would result, but you could stage them to an unheated garage for a week, then put them out.

Thank you twit for the great advice. I wasn't sure what should be done with them. Now I know.

So many different varieties. Who knew??

All beautiful!!

As Carl Sagan used to say: "Billions and billions" (not quite, but sometimes it seems that way)

I am going to order today. Not sure how this will sale will work. I'm order two of each so the 2nd plant should be free, right? Paying thru paypal so not sure how to do the checkout.

Are these winter hardy for zone 5b?

Rose

They are hardy in your zone Rose hardy down to zone 4. You live in both Chicago area and KY? They do well in both parts of the country. : )

No, you order one plant and you get two automatically. I think if you order enough she also adds a surprise plant. : ) So if you order 1 Pixie, you will get 2 plants.

We look forward to seeing what you get. Hope you have time to share your photos with us.

Thank you Twitcher. I'll hold off on watering them unless it's necessary. Really appreciate the advice!

Glad to help.

BTW the "technical" term fro what your plants are doing is etoliation/ being etoliated. Slow down growth and you limit the problem.

Here's a brief explanation.

That really helps me understand why some plants don't do well for me indoors during the winter. The tender succulents I brought indoors last fall are doing well because I used the information you gave me last fall about watering sparingly. It worked. : )
Thanks twit.

Thanks so much Twit...very interesting and good to know. That is happening to my Graptopetalum. I just hope they will survive until spring.

Graptopetalum paraguayense? Those are very susceptible to over-watering in the the winter. I also have graptoverias and they are the same way. They can rebound though.

Just put in my order It was hard but I limited myself to a dozen. Started out with a list of 60 and whittled it down. Maybe another order from somewhere else later.

What a beautiful list Holly. Can't wait to see photos of them when you get them.
List of 60? My list of 17 took me two days to plant. Could be because I was so busy looking at each and every one, touching them, commenting on each individual plant. Thinking about where their permanent home would be, and talking all of this over with them. Just me and the plants. It was such great fun. Now don't forget Holly that I will have a number of different varieties to trade this spring. Can I send you my list before you order any more.

Oh Yes, I would love to see your trading list. I know you have some sedums I would love to have. Not too sure what I would have to trade back but if these make it till spring I would have my doubles.

The sun is out today (cold & breezy), so going out to work in the yard, making more sedum starts, inventory, and whatever else can be done. When I get it all together I will send a list to you Holly.

Me too....pretty please....

You got it Linda. : )

Lynn, i just recieved my order from north hills, oh my I am just thrilled. we are in the middle of an ice storm and i put them in my garage for planting later today. I will put them out in my rock garden when the weather allows. I was wondering if i should add a small amount of water when i pot them. maybe a tablespoon, they are going to go in about a 4" pot with grit.
as soon as the weather is better i will send some pics
again thank you for posting nhn web site.

Cynthia - how fun to get your order when it's so lousy outside! Which ones did you get?
