Love of gardening grows on you!
Plant Lover: Loves 'em all! Sempervivums
Good morning, Baja. You were so kind in recently responding to my question about caudiciforms and you mentioned that aloes, gsterias and haworthias might be a better choice for me.

Have been checking them out since your response and like the looks of several of them.

BUT, I also like the looks of faucarias and have been checking back on forum postings to see what various members have to say about them. Most of them appear to be grown outdoors, while mine would have to be indoors - except for the summer months on my sunny patio. In zone 5b our summers are not too hot - usually in high 70's and mid-80's with an occasional 90 now and then. Do you think faucarias might be a likely candidate for me to try? Would appreciate any comments you might have.

Other growers of faucarias - would like to hear from you also. Recognize a lot of names and experience from previous postings in the Cacti/Succulent forums. Would appreciate any advice you might care to give me.

I've had much better luck with plants other than cacti/succulents but I keep coming back and back to these groups of plants which have captivated my interest.
