I will try and take this all in (I will get there but it may take some time)

Lynn you mentioned that some look in need of re-potting...I'm guessing all but the prickly one (Euphorbia right?) do.

Could you advise as to the size of pot, terracotta?? (I have thousands of vintage terracotta pots) and what mix of soils to use...and also when would be the best time to do this?

So to summarise...

My Gollum likes it cooler and will be starting a growing phase and if some of the lower fingers turn yellow and drop off this is not necessarily a bad thing

The Copper kettle can stay outside, as long as it is freely draining ??? I first saw these planted in the ground outside in Cornwall and they looked superb, which why I was keen to own one!

The Echeveria is not the spiky one (as it sounds like it should be) but the pink fleshy one and prefers warm temperatures, so would the windowsill in the lounge be the best place for that or would that be too warm? In the kitchen maybe which is where it is at present along with ...

the Euphorbia is the spiky one not the fleshy one and likes to be warm as well, like a cacti ??? Lounge windowsill too?? I wonder how I can fit all these on to the lounge windowsill...I have a few orchids and a tropical butterwort there too.
