That is true Chris. Now I should sow the hardy succulent seeds. Have no idea what is in that packet of seed.

Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Too late. Gotcha. Big Grin

Debbie I don't even know what they are other than tender succulents. But I am quite attached to them since they are my very first attempt at growing succulents from seed.
You know how us plant moms are. Rolling my eyes.

I can't believe how easy this little Aeonium is to grow and over winter in the house. It seems to thrive on neglect. I can put that green container in my small hand and close my fingers up over the sides all the way around. That is how small it is. This one would be great for miniature garden landscaping.

I got it at Lowes last spring. It was with all the tiny pots of tender succulents in the indoor plant area.

Hi Sharon, glad you like it. It has turn out to be my favorite winter house plant. : ) I loves going outside for the summer.

Chris show us a photo of yours. Has it grown?

When it arrived most of the leaves were brown. But it has since started making new ones and looks good. I'll try to remember to get a picture of it...
