Positive	pieohmy	On Nov 25, 2007, pieohmy from Independence, LA (Zone 8b) wrote: This plant does very well in filtered shade in the summer here. I had it protected from the rain and watered it myself. Watered once or twice a week depending on humidity levels at the time. It also did well for me during the winter last year. Our winters are pretty mild so I did move it outside on warmer days. It didn't seem to mind being inside but it definently did not grow much during the winter months.
Neutral	hortus69	On Jan 9, 2005, hortus69 from Capitola, CA (Zone 9a) wrote: Positive and negative, I guess, totals a neutral. I love the lavender hues to the leaves, and it's polite growing habit...WHEN it grows.. Unfortunately, here: four houses off the Monterey Bay, It seems to be crabby. It wants to become gelatinous and 'leaf the building' more easily than my other succulents. I got into this website looking for data about it.
