Klenia kleiniiformis doing well March 2014, while overwintered indoors:

suffered big time in summer 2014, got too dried out, and I may have positioned it wrongly, it was just too much sun, even if I already tried to acclimate it slowly.
Sept 2014

continued with its downhill stage, I did not bother bringing it indoors, looks so dead, only very small leaves were left by Jan 2015,but it is giving me some hope, it is trying to survive!

Spring ensued later, weather warming up, positioned it in part sun/shade area of the garden. By Nov 2016, it has fully recovered

Currently this 31Aug 2018, plant still alive, positioned in shade during summer. Gave me better understanding of the importance of shade during summer for this succulent. Need to cut off that etiolated part, just waiting again for cooler Fall conditions to return.
