Hi there,
Firstly apologies if this is the wrong area of the forum (if it is maybe a mod could transplant this thread to the correct bed) but can anyone give me definitive winter care for four new plants I acquired this autumn.
We bought a Crassula Gollum (this was my favourite plant) and
a Euphorbiua Fimbriata (a spiky lil bugger, my hubby’s choice, I wonder what that tells us…)
We put both of these in the greenhouse and they have lived happily (I think) there since September with very little ‘care’ whilst we wait to decide
what we are going to do with them, (which will probably be next spring now) but I have noticed that some of Gollums fingers were turning yellow so have now brought them both into the house......but how much light and what temperature do these need to overwinter?
We also bought an Aeonium Copper Kettle and an Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg …. I noticed that these did not do well inside the greenhouse…. their bottom leaves shrivelling and falling, so transferred them to a place outside with some other potted sempervivums awaiting transplanting into displays (we find it really hard to find decent grit round here) and since doing that both look far better and have not lost any further leaves…
However the season is changing and I really need to know how to overwinter these plants. We live in North Dorset and have had sempervivums,
planted in terracotta displays, which have over wintered well outside but I think these succulents require a little more ‘TLC’ so have come to you for your advice.
In addition could anyone tell me if the Crassula and the Euphorbia can be planted in a display with other Sempervivums or are their needs too different and it would be better to keep them separate?
