I'm sorry to hear your plant gave up the ghost. As I mentioned at the very top of the thread, that was an ambitious choice. If there's a take home lesson here, as much as anything, it would be that a Brighamia is not an easy house plant, no matter what the vendor's web site may suggest. They are very demanding about light. If you can provide direct sun in the spring (no window in the way) then it might be worth another try, otherwise I would suggest another plant that's more likely to power on through. If you're looking for a succulent that does well in lower light situations, consider a Sansevieria or a Haworthia, maybe. There's a lot of diversity in that area. Maybe Daisy or someone else would have more suggestions.
