I just received a much anticipated box of über cool babies but find myself in a major predicament. I live in the high desert (read sagebrush and sand) of Northern Nevada, summers are dry and more dry here. Only this year is nuts, we've had weeks of thunderstorms, and rain. To top that off, the thunder storms that have been rolling in are not only gracing us with TONS of rain, but hail... My garden looks like it was assaulted with a shotgun.

Since it is hot (95+) humid (UGH) and hailing Grumbling I have planted the new babies in terra cotta pots and have them in the house for now. But, I've never not just planted semps in the ground. I have NO IDEA how to care for them inside. How often should I water them? Should I just mist them occasionally and hope for better weather soon? I'm freaking out that I'm gonna kill them before they can be planted outside.

Here are some of them, right after planting.
