Added a few new ones to the squad 😅 Will be relaxing a bit after having gotten these, feeling really happy with the diversity of what I have right now.

I get a pretty great amount of light year round, I live in Florida, US. I personally hate the heat and blazing sun, but love that these get to take advantage of it!

I’ve been taking care of them for about a year now, last winter I moved them all in during the few nights we had temperatures under 35°F and would move them right back out during the day! Thankfully they’ve all handled it pretty well.

I do have a grow light for a Pink Moonstone I have & the little cuttings I try to grow & return outside!

Oh wow, I have that same variety in your photo and it's nowhere near as big and beautiful! Glad to hear you've got a great natural lighting situation. I'm in Chicago and every year around this time I get super bummed out about having to bring in my plants and stick them under lights.

I hear you! I’d like to move out of state at some point & that is one problem that’d weigh a bunch on me.

Goodness, with the Moonstones I recently caught on that I didn’t research what kind of climate it originated from! Happened to me a few times..

Acclimated them to the sun, had em’ out there for months and realized there was absolutely no growth whatsoever since I first got them.

I threw them inside about a month ago and it’s been blowing up so much! If I left them out I think they’d pretty much be dormant the whole year 😂
