I lost these plants..and learned a lot from it..understanding those that need shade, and their tolerance levels to heat and cold. Win some...lose some..learn from the mistakes..and get better on it next time Rolling my eyes. Smiling

Aloinopsis luckhoffii - should have been kept in shade..it did try to recover during Fall, but then it got doused by rain..so bye bye it went.

Mosaic Aloe - a tender one, did not last the winter cold and rain

Euphorbia lactea candelabra- I got this as a cutting, should have kept it in shade or indoors, it did not like the intense summer heat and later on the cold/wet weather.

Desert Rose - I got this one in early Fall last year..I think I may have overwatered it..and it just went downhill quickly as it coincided with colder temps..too bad..it had very nice foliage. Luckily I have 2 other Adeniums which are still doing well.

On struggling stage:
Plumeria - my bane..still struggling to root one. Oh well, not giving up yet. Hoping this one continues the fight to live.

Beaucarnea recurvata - I got two of them, the other one is doing fine, but this one is really on life support, not even sure if it is still alive. Plant was recovering already in late summer, but got tossed out by strong winds and rained upon during the early part of Fall last year. Still hoping though..it is such a slow grower..so cannot be definitive yet if it is dead. I should have gradually introduced it to temps/heat outdoors, after growing it indoors. Have repotted it to check the roots, I think it still is alive as there is still firmness on the trunk.
