jojoe said:Jonna,i had the same thought and have been careful to water only when the plant dries out some.

I am having some problems that i have been going to take to the (pest forum) with my azalea's they are all infested with something.Unfortunately I'm not up on plant bugs,fungus,mold or diseases. It maybe something caught from the azalea's .will post picture's of them in correct forum.

Tarev,I have had this plant more than a year and the only thing I've notice it do.Is when growing actively it gets so colorful,in the winter i bring it in and keep it watered just not as moist as in the summer, the only difference i see is in winter it's all green and even it's green is pretty.The outside of leaf is darker and middle is almost a neon (not as bright) but closest color that comes to me right now

As I have said earlier on, some plants are active in winter, like my aeonium, so colorful and undergoes lovely transition of leaf colors turning green to deep burgundy in winter, but as days go warmer up to summer, it changes back to very light green, dropping its leaves too, but it does not mean it is sick of anything, just going dormant. And if it is going dormant, really less water, otherwise there would be stem rot at the base..so with your plant similar thing, it is a cacti of a shrub type and has that characteristic too.
