But that is my problem is I am not a water-er. I lose plants because I do not water. I hate to water. I lose plants over the winter because I do not water. Sometime about Feb after all the holidays and I finally settle down I look at the plants and the ones that were not really tough are dried up and dead.

If you use well drained soil and do not water for 3 months even cool some succulents will die. I discovered that fact. If there is no drainage and they are given a little moisture and you do not water for months they survive.

I have worked out the ones that want moisture in the winter and the ones that survive dry. The ones that want moisture I plant those in pots with no holes. I have succulents I have to break the pot to get them out they grow so good with no holes. I do not suggest anyone that waters regularly not try my madness. Rolling on the floor laughing
