Haworthia do better than most with window light. Sansevieria do very well with low light (though they aren't succulents), as do Dracaena (from what I can tell).

Yeah, but I want a Sans that will flower. I have some Haws that seem to be doing well, and Dracaena have some interesting species I have seen. I have been currently looking at Bulbine, Massonia, Ledbouria and Drimopsis. I really like bulbed plants recently.

I have Saguaro, Mamm, Gymnocalcium, Lophophora, and Aloe that all enjoy their resting places inside on windowsills during the winters...

They do not get watered from October until the spring and have been quite happy.

My Hummels Sunset jade gets watered sparingly throughout the winter.

i do have T5HO lights that I could use for Echeveria, but from past experience enjoy the simplicity of letting the cacti rest with no worries.

As long as I don't water past October, there is no etolation. The gymnocalcium and lophophora do sink into the soil a bit but that is a natural response to drought anyways.

A saguaro will tell you when its thirsty by through its reduction in girth as it swells when soaking up water.. But in the winter it knows it's not the time to grow..

Patience is the key

Haworthias. Just a thought, have you considered lights? One T5HO 3 ft lamp with fixture and reflector costs I think $46 on Amazon (you might be able to get it cheaper if you buy from a seller on Amazon or eBay) and the effect it has on electricity bill is really not as much as one would think.

Lights would be a great option, but I am thinking passive, as I am moving the plants into our bedroom and don't want the fuss of the lights, timers, cords, etc.

If sansevierias are not succulents, what are they? You said: ...'Sansevieria do very well with low light (though they aren't succulents)'...

Sansevierias bloom. I never had one blooming yet, but only have few.

I also have Ledebouria, and they bloom but (tiny blooms), and I am keeping them in west window.

Rina--oh, I suppose they are! I guess I was presuming because they don't usually get mentioned here.

Maybe not that many ppl grow them, or they are not having problems to post about :) And there is a Sans forum here too, but I don't think it is as active as this one.

I would like to see blooms on my plants too. At least they are growing - on low shelve, not much light at all.

I looked into Sans and succulence and found the family is split between the sun lovers (succulent) and the forest dwellers (not).
