RE: Echeveria

I recognized your name too Marilyn. My web site is http://www.rainyside.com and its gardening in the western portion of the Pacific Northwest. Thank you for asking! I guess I should fix my signature line, I put in a new program and forgot to add it. :) Deb

Debbie,
 I'm pretty sure I have seen your name in connection with a garden/nursery
website and its related photography.  I'm sorry I don't remember the website
address.  If that is you, please share your URL so we can all enjoy it.  :)

Hello Marilyn, I grow my echeverias fairly well in the PNW. I winter mine
in the greenhouse. In the fall I place the pots in a protected area under a
deck cover until the first threat of a hard frost and then I put them in
the greenhouse. I stop watering them accept to keep the soil from
completely drying out. Some bloom during their stay in the greenhouse. I
give them a slow release complete fertilizer in the spring and keep them
watered well through the growing season. I pretty much treat them in the
same way as hens and chicks except of course winter them over in the green
house. They are pretty easy care IMO.  My favorite is E. 'Mauna Loa'. I
haven't had any problems with pests so far.

I pull of any side babies and pot them up. Oh and the hummingbirds love the
blossoms!
Debbie
