Hey @valleylynn, thanks so much for the warm welcome! Grin Here is a pic of my semp. The top looks fine but the bottom leaves are getting sucked into a tight ball. I live in Missouri so it's been off-and-on cold- we've had both snow and higher temps in the past few weeks- but getting colder. My apartment is cool during the day when I'm at work but gets warmer at night, and I keep my semp in a window with lots of sun access. Unfortunately I don't have a garage- the only options are inside or out.

After reading your response I'm almost certain I've overwatered- definitely need to invest in a mister rather than soaking the soil. The soil is a regular potting mix, but I will certainly invest in some chicken grit for the top. Until next spring, would you recommend repotting or removing the plant from the soil to dry out?
