Succulents
It's a nice cool fall in Kansas and almost time to bring in the Cactus but every time I bring in some of the Succulents, some of them will live through the winter in the sunny southern windows (not direct sun)and some will not. Any suggestions? This has been going on for about 20 years and I hate loosing a few plants every year.I love them all.ConnieSee More
