Brenda would you please tell your wonderful DH that I now live in Siberia? Does he need the address?
Then while he is trekking around trying to find me you can be shopping for semps.
The nice part of sempervivum is they are pretty much carefree. No fertilizer, minimal water (they are drought tolerant), pretty much pest and disease free. What better plant to become addicted to?
Thank you so much Cynthia for the encouraging words. Do you grow sempervivum?
Good morning Nancy. On the topic of the house plants, are you sure they are semps, or are they one of the many types of tender succulents, maybe echeveria or aeonium?
--------------Echeveria--------------------------------Aeonium 'Catlin'---These do wonderful indoors for winter time, however they will not survive winter outdoors, but can be placed outdoors for the warm growing season.
I know many people that live in the southern states around you have to buy their semps by mail order. Not sure why the local nurseries don't carry semps. I did find a wonderful nursery just outside D.C while visiting my son and family. They had a wonderful selection of semps, most of which I didn't have yet. Well I have them now. : ) My wonderful DIL bought them for me for Mother's Day and we shipped them to Oregon the day before I left to go home. They arrived in perfect condition the day after I got home.
I must say with all the nursery hopping we did, that was the only one that carried semps. We planted some beautiful containers for my DIL and they are doing very well for her in VA.
