One Down--Three to Go

12 years ago

As a newbie who started a C&S collection in July, I have been really worried about nurturing these things through their first winter with artificial light. Now that they've been inside for a month, I am cautiously going to proclaim: so far, so good. Well....at least none of them have turned to mush yet. In three months they can go back outside where they belong, although I will miss their enhancement of the interior decor. I told my wife I want to get more and she says I should enjoy the ones I have. My response....I am enjoying them, that's why I want more!

I would like to try mine under artificial light in winter but unforunately my carnivore collection collection uses all my space. :( Nice collection so far! I agree... you need a lot more. :P

Yes, those are some real beauties...

The upside to giving all that light is that I can water as often as I want once the mix dries out, and boy does the mix on all mine dry fast with long days of light and warmth cast of from them...

There is always room for one more as they say...lol

I'm watering the succulents every 5-7 days at this point....the cactus much less often. They're all in gritty mix and it dries quickly, so it seems overwatering isn't an issue for me. Our indoor humidity has been 55-65 since I brought them in, so not nearly the level of aridity I was expecting to be wrought by the electric heating system. At least not so far, but the dark days of Dec & Jan loom.
