Howard,

What are you trying to do!!!! I got too many plants now and now you start off with something new. It was you who got me into Echeveria. Now what. Another one here got me started on Jades and I still have lots of Sanseveria and Stapelias left over to care for. Not to mention my Aloes and friends.

Just kidding.

It's ok, Stan. We have our therapy session next week and both of us will be better. I'm going to have a hard time explaining all the new arrivals from The Netherlands and in another month or so from South Africa.

I just placed an ISI order and saw this one as I was browsing. Very intriguing. Did you see the Haworthia / Sempervivum hybrid? I was very tempted by that one but I never do well with Haws and managed to stay on track for once.

I water my winter growers very sparingly in the summer, sometimes I feel like not enough. Even though they are dormant they still begin to show signs of dehydration and this is when I water mine usually.

Erica, are you speaking of this hybrid or ????

Howard, I don't have this one so my only experience with anything similar is my own Aloinopsis that is not a hybrid.

Is that what you meant?

-Erica

Yes. Your plant does require careful judicial watering. I am hoping because this is a hybrid that watering will have some latitude.

I do water sometimes in summer with the Mesembs ( and look alikes).

They dry out to much I think if I don't. Practicly everything survives and flowers nevertheless in late automn or winter. Especially the Aloinopsis likes it this way.
