Deebie! Yes I began doing the succulent thing a couple of years ago, and that first winter I watered at if they were regular houseplants (because during the summer they wanted that) many of them died, or didn't look good at all, so I got a bunch of grow lights, and they did better. Then this winter I listened to folks on here about watering less, and my plants looked great! Until a week ago, I thought our unusual sun/heat was a "temporary" thing, and put my plants out and then went away, and all of them are sunburnt, I thought they'd recover, and some will but I can tell I totally lost several plants - trying not to be too disappointed It was such a thoughtless thing to do, I knew better...grrrr I'll post photos of plants as they recoup, not in the state they are currently in We also have very wet winters and spring...I'm planning to leave my plants out this year, and probably make some type of cold frame for them, to keep them dry!
Good luck with your plants!! Its all a learning experience for me, and I love that even when they're sunburnt, I can see some of them are already sending out new growth because they're so happy to have real sun, and wind instead of a stuffy house!
