we very seldom have snow or freezing weather.Snow's maybe every 4 years & we have had a freeze twice in the last 5 or 6 yrs.Our winter sometimes are like fall except for cold night,the days will be in the 70's.our winters don't really get cold until jan. and last until march so i have a pretty long growing season.I have had problems with my plants not going into dormancy or taking a rest.I'm going to really hold back on water & stop feeding maybe they will get a rest.

Could you give me your opinion about re-potting couple plants(if they need it)?
My hubby knocked over some of my plants and broke a limb off my Gullum,We have been remodeling for about 2 yrs Whistling Whistling & he said he forgot i had put the plants on the porch to water them,he swiped them with a board going in the house with it and off they went to the ground.I rooted the broken limb & now have a baby gullum.

One more question, i had what i thought was a mold or fungus.My jades all of them had black dots.My Sedum 'Reflexum' had mealies.I sprayed them with a product called fungicide 3, it's mainly neem oil extract.Leaves started dropping.One day i counted 40leaves between all my jades.4 regular C.ovata,c. minima, C.hummel sunset.& they fell for a good week even my elephant bushes looked bare.The Sedum lost a lot of it's little needles & i noticed mealies are back.I guess no oil based on succulents? What can i use?
Thumb of 2012-10-19/jojoe/79c348Is the yellowing of the leaves from to much or not enough water or the cold and do you think it needs re-potting next spring right not now?

My pencil cactus really took off this summer,it's 2 plants in 1 pot because i rooted them together.I put them together this spring when re-potting because they were so small but not any more.Should i separate them when i re-pot this spring,i think their pot is to small.

These jades will come inside before it gets to cold,i do like them to turn red from the cold,but then i like to enjoy them inside.Do i have them IDed correctly.front c.spoon,left C. Minima,C.ovata,C.Hobbit.

I'm so sorry realized i have practically vented every succulent worry on you in 1 post.

Tarev, You are a lovely person have a lovely day
A green thumb comes only as a result of the mistakes you make while learning to see things from the plants point of view!!
