Thanks for sharing this, Tarev. I don't think enough attention is paid to dormancy schedules of succulents, and I think this is often why they croak! Too much water while sleeping, not enough water while growing, feeding at the wrong times, etc etc.

I lost a ton of nice Adeniums over the winter when I first moved to FLorida...all their leaves fell off, I panicked, I watered them, tried to repot and move them thinking they weren't in enough sun, and they all rotted and died. All a lesson in care during dormancy!!!
Your thread has shown me a few other plant genera that are summer dormant which is very helpful. Thanks!
