Hi Crasulady:

I keep my sanseverias quite dry in the winter.  Even indoors they seem to
rot when kept too wet in dreary weather!  I wouldn't risk watering them
right now unless you are very convinced the wrinking is due to too little
water rather than the starting of rot.


Any other suggestions about this?  I've had my Sans. kirkii pulchra bloom
after 2 months of total dryness.  In fact, I wonder if that is what
convinced it to bloom finally last February and again this summer?  I'm
hoping it will honor me with a bloom again (let's see 1 flower stalk in Feb,
2 this summer, let's go for 3 this winter).
