I'm mostly into cacti, aloes, and other heat tolerant succulents, and more recently hoyas and some tropicals. Phoenix, AZ. USDA zone 9b, heat zone 11.

Crassula congesta and 'Baby Necklace', plus some various sedum bits underneath. I know none of them can take the summer heat where I live, but I figure maybe they can spend the rest of the year outdoors and live under the grow light in the summer. It's been working for some of my other Crassulas. 🤷🏻‍♀️

That's funny, we bring ours inside for the winter, and you bring them inside for the summer! 😅

@lesliecole49 I know, right?? 🤣 It's so weird living here. None of the commonly accepted growing seasons or climatic wisdom apply.

Looks nice! I just planted a baby necklace outside I’ll see if it lives. 🌞

@sunlovin I've never had one before, so I couldn't say. This is a hybrid of c. perforata and rupestris, of which I've had both. Perforata didn't survive the summer, and rupestris did (barely), so... 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 Lmk how yours does!
