I have had a miserable hot and humid 3 weeks. This time of year it is usually 80s and low humidity. So much rain and humidity my succulents are not doing well. Especially since I am so stubborn and refuse to put drainage holes in my pots. Hilarious! My Mom use to say "A hard head makes a soft behind". I think she should have said "A hard head makes a soft succulent".

Sheryl, I bring my plant in every winter and it still struggles to survive. It stays alive just enough to make a good size plant when I put it out for the summer. I often wonder if it does not naturally shed its leaves in the winter regardless of where it sits for the winter. But as I said I am a bad plant mommy it could be my no/or little watering indoor plant habit.
