Ok, I am continuing with the repoting (to the gravel mix) of the Semps showing signs of stress. It is really hot here and the cool mornings are all but gone. We are having highs around 100 and lows in the upper 70s (and will be moving to the lower 80s in a few weeks with very high humidity).

This is pretty much the growth time of year for my other succulents. They can take as much water as I can give them right now and they are all growing. I understand the Semps are different and really need the cool nights to do well.

With that being said, should I move the Semps indoors at night and out in the mornings? I don't have that many pots so it may work for a few months until we get a break from the heat?

Just thinking out loud as I would really like to get these guys to grow for me.

Also, I don't think I know anyone else around here with these guys. That would tell a normal person something but I am a little slow!!! Does anyone out there know of someone successfully growning these guys in Florida or a climate like mine (high heat and humidity for 5 months out of the year)?


Thanks

Andrew
