Cinta, that's sounds like a good idea for the succulents--leaving them out and covering them at night. If it should rain, they will be protected under the plastic until it gets cold enough to bring them in. I think I will try that.
I had the bright idea that I would combine some of my plants, but it seems like most have grown so much over the summer that there is little room to cram anything else in the pot.
Most pots that are bigger are also deeper, that's a good recipe for disaster via waterlogged soil. I have to keep searching.
