Thanks Audrey! Oh yes..have learned a lot year to year...one of them not to dilly dally with the orchids..so now I have two blooming Oncidiums indoors...woohooo..as for the succulents...actually the rest outdoors are doing very good this time, since there is not a drop of rain yet this January, and the sun is slowly inching longer. So the Crassulas, Senecios, Arboreums, Kalanchoes, Haworthias are at their nicest right now. Only those earlier mentioned three are in cranky mode. With the city trees still dropping leaves, more sunlight is able to squeeze in for the chilled succulents
Yeah, sometimes the learning curve comes at such a steep price...live and learn.
