What does everyone do to protect their succulents in the winter. Do you bring them indoors, wrap them in something, or are there any other tricks to protect them from the elements. It doesn't normally get real cold at night, but we are having some weird weather and it is getting into the low 30's. I have an assortment of succulents including the following: (at least this is my closest guess as to what they are) Aeonium decorum variegata Aeonium haworthii "Pinwheel" Aeonium haworthii "Kiwi" Aeonium leucoblepharum Aeonium glutinosum Cotyledon macrantha Crassula argentea Crassula clavata Crassula portulacea "Jade Plant" Crassula portulacaria afra "Elephant Bush" Crassula portulacaria afra variegata "Rainbow Bush" Echeveria "Black Prince" Echeveria gibbiflora Echeveria multiculis Echeveria peacockii Echeveria "Powder Blue" Echeveria pulvinata Echeveria ramilette "Orange Bouquet" Echeveria runyonii Echeveria "Topsy Turvy" Kalanchoe blossfeldiana Kalanchoe tomentosa Mimicry latifolium Pachyveria bracteosum Pachyveria glauca Sedum morganianum burrito Sedum nussbaumeria Sedum spathulifolium purpureum carnea Sempervivum Any information on how cold each succulent can tolerate, light requirements, web sites, etc. would be appreciated.
The cactus shop have good information on cactus and succulent. The web site is www.cactusshop.com ....I use a greenhouse for all my cactus and succulent
Thankyou for the link to Cactus Shop. They do have a lot of information. You mentioned you keep your succulents in a greenhouse. Do you keep them there all year or just in the winter? Did you build it yourself or from a kit? What do you recommend on greenhouses?
I keep my succulents and my cactus in greenhouse in winter and I remove the sides from my g-house and keep some in g-house and move some around the yard to see them. I built it my greenhouse with 2x4 its 26'x14' it was not a kit but I wish it was. you can get a kit it will work very good a site I like on greenhouse is www.growerssolution.com
