Thanks Greg, I think they do not really like being spray misted. It will be of no effect really, their stomates are closed during the day. They are really more of an outdoors plant, just like the semps in that sense. It is different though with rain, there is more wind/air interaction, they really like that cold feeling. I just try to use shallow containers if I can, it makes drainage faster. I am just thankful we will have several days of low 60's daytime, it will allow for some drying out time after these cold rains.
To be honest I was worried during this summer's dormant time, our dry and hot conditions went all the way to Halloween, seems Aeonium arboreum 'Zwartkop' is more deadish dry than just dormant. Such a relief when I took those photos today, they are alive! But I did add the extra pumice and chicken grit to some of them a day before the rains, and been adding some more today in between rain breaks.
I really need to move Aeonium hierrense..got to find the guts to disturb it, still in wake up mode, hopefully it will not mind the uprooting.
I hope the Weather Channel overnight temps is correct, to them our overnights will be in the low 40's..the other site is already saying mid to high 30's.
Cranky pots Fall weather! Love the rain! But just hate when it comes along too cold!
