Greg, in my zone, we get a quite a bit of rain (except when we need it most during July) and lots of freezing night temps. So my tenders have to come indoors in the winter. I kept one pot of graptopetalum in the garage under regular shop lights and it didn't do well. It looks terrible, so I'll take cuttings to rejuvenate it hopefully. I put the other pot under a tree to see if it would survive, and it did. I had a large NOID escheveria that I put by a window in the garage, which faces NE, and it etoliated and lost it's color. I didn't know what to do, so I pinched out the tip of one plant, and now it is doing something weird (multiplying on the tips). I do have the fever and bought some new plants on clearance before christmas and during the last couple of months. I'm trying not to go overboard, and you guys are not helping.
I keep
ing over some of the photos posted.
I kept my cactus' in the house. I don't know what I can put outdoors, as I don't have a covered porch (to keep them drying during our rainy seasons).
I know that they need sun. So, I'll have to figure something out.
I'm going to buy some flourescent tubes for plants and keep my small collection of tenders under it in the garage during the winter. I don't have room in my house and I do collect houseplants as well. I have a lot to learn.
