Hi there
Thanks for the info.
I have moved it to a tall plastic pot which is in another bigger pot (with cactus soil and some volcanic stones). There are holes at the bottom but I hardly water it and it hardly rains here.
Actually we have a heat wave in Europe (and in Barcelona too). We have reached 30ºC/86ºF...but that's from the internet. I think we are somewhere close to 38-40ºC now. It is unbelievable.
Now....all the leaves of my houseleek started to lose water. It was in the direct sun and I think that could have been the problem. Here is a photo of it:
I have just removed it from the balcony and left it in the kitchen where sun wont reach it (I just want this heatwave to be over and then place it back on the balcony).
All the leaves are becoming soft and many of the leaves at the bottom are drying off. I water it a little bit (just a tad bit of water) every 2 weeks and now have removed it from direct sun. It should be coming back to life with all the changes I have made (soil mainly), but it is just not happening.
