Semps are like jeans: you can dress ‘em up, you can dress ‘em down.

Your puppiferousness is fruitful in more than one way or another.

Dave, where are you, please? I'm always leery of leaving Semps out in a pot in the weather for the winter. Is that any special mix or do you keep them kind of out of the weather?

Excellent growing and showing!

I also worry about Semps in pots, and know for darn sure that a bulbous pot in Winter weather here would be frozen and split. I have a few in ground it the gardens, but the local deer find them very tasty so they barely survive year-to-year.

I dream of a semp pot like this but also worry about overwintering in my climate. Maybe in the garage so it doesn’t get too wet and burst?

cactus i live in the high desert right at the base of the sierras. most of the time our climate is more Pacific than continental so pretty mild. the last couple of years the semps have been covered by a foot or so of snow most of the winter. i only have losses in the occasional cold, dry winter when everything suffers, including me.

and they are on the north deck , no sun in dec. and jan. and there's no frost/defrost cycle which i think is deadly.
