I have a blue chalksticks plant that I've had for years, they last forever, don't they? When it gets lanky I just hack it back.

It's not all Echeveria, it's the glaucous ones (like E. elegans and E. imbricata). And it's not that they die, they become etiolated to the point that that I no longer like the look of them. I do realize I could cut off the tip (or leaves) and start a new plant, sometimes I do, but usually space is at a premium and they just get tossed.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-75763935983029081252015-12-01T09:12:57.092-08:002015-12-01T09:12:57.092-08:00It was COLD yesterday.

You're right that all those plants have no problem surviving winter in my area of SoCal but just over the hill in the San Fernando Valley (where I grew up and my brother and a few friends still live), the temperatures often turn cold enough to turn succulents to mush so California isn't altogether hospitable in winter. Those of us living along the southern coast are admittedly very lucky, except when it comes to rain that is.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-71050378841807971242015-11-30T15:57:41.732-08:002015-11-30T15:57:41.732-08:00Fabulous foliage and succulents...none of these wo...Fabulous foliage and succulents...none of these would be found in my garden.
