My mother kept them alive for me (thankfully), and you really couldn't beat the price or variety (or burden of having to choose your own variety)!! As others mentioned, it seems borderline flower-abuse is the way to go. If you want to see how mine looked 5 months later there are some pics in this post :-)<br /><br />http://kilobravoinspired.blogspot.com/2013/01/wfw-book-centerpieces-final-reveal.htmlKayla aka Kilo Bravohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09637609740944011295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-9126585232429596302015-04-24T10:10:24.160-04:002015-04-24T10:10:24.160-04:00It looks like the sixth row from the right, third ...It looks like the sixth row from the right, third plant up is a jade plant. But most succulents will thrive under similar conditions - bright but not constant direct light, watering every now and then, protection from the cold, let them be.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17614361809562358654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-43890094142998556862015-04-24T09:44:10.137-04:002015-04-24T09:44:10.137-04:00Well that's perfect for me since I tend to for...Well that's perfect for me since I tend to forget I have plants during the week and then get my green thumb itch on weekends ;) <br />Thanks for the tip!

They were so big we that when we sold our house we let the new owners 'inherit' them. In the spring/summer when there is no danger of frost, put the succulents outside in a bright but not sun-drenched spot. We usually put them outside on the north side of our house so they received a little bit of sunlight throughout the day, but did not get fried. Then, during the summer, I'd water them with the hose once a week or so. In the fall I'd bring them in before the frost and make sure to wash the bugs off them before bringing them inside (jade plants were susceptible to a kind of scale bug that had to be chipped off). Keep them near a window during the winter and water lightly every 2 weeks or so. They really tend to do better the less attention they receive.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17614361809562358654noreply@blogger.com
