I'm still a little puzzled about this. I usually chop or top my echeverias when I bring them inside as evidenced by their rapid growth outside over summer. (With temps. dropping into the low 30's tonight today is the day!! ) Usually "Mom" is to large for a windowsill and needs to be replaced with a younger start. A 5" plant last June is now a 10". However I see the most growth while they are outside over summer and assume they can be pretty dry inside over winter. In fact with water during the winter months and not enough light to balance it___the heads often starts to bolt___do ech.s bolt!! You folks probably have a better term.
So how do you strike a happy medium with enough moisture to root a recent cutting and dry enough to insure dormancy? I actually topped most that needed it about three weeks ago so they are probably ready to start growing roots. I assume rooted plants brought inside can be left dry___cuttings will need a little moisture. Any advice appreciated. Jean
