LOL, I can't complain too much about about our weather. The older I get, the more the heat and humidity of summer bother me but I'm thankful for our fairly mild winters. My sister in-law in upstate N.Y. (she's lived there her entire life) once told me they go for two or three months without seeing the sun during the winter! That sure made me think, and realize how fortunate I am that we don't have to deal with weather like that.
hmm ... I didn't realize that Haworthia required shade; probably the reason I've killed a few.
Speaking of weather, we've been having daytime temps in the low to mid 80's the past few weeks with nights in the low 60's and low humidity! It's been very dry of late too, putting us in extreme drought conditions with a couple of brush fires popping up on occasion. A cold front has pushed through and made it all the way to Florida so we've had some much needed rainfall the past two days! Now, the temp's are dropping. Our high today is supposed to reach 72º with a low tonight of 49 but which isn't bad at all, but tomorrow night and Sunday night are predicted to be COLD, with temp's of 36º both nights! Yikes ... looks like I will be moving the orchids inside and covering other tender tropicals with blankets! When we have great weather in January and February we always hope to get by without frost and freezes but there's always the chance of a possible freeze until the end of February ... so, another couple of weeks and I shall be out pruning and fertilizing! This forum has got me thinking about planting a succulent bed somewhere.
