Mine gets well-watered and fed during spring and summer and watered a little in winter. I don't think it ever really dries out.
Thanks Paul for your comments, much appreciated. I try to keep them well organised to make for easier care and keeping them tidy plus removing plant debris significantly helps keep the mealy-bug menace under control. A larger greenhouse has certainly helped with this.

Re: Winter in the greenhouse
Really great collection, just As I would have expected! The sarmentosa looks familiar & looks very good in that pot.
What minimum temperature for the two greenhouses?

Re: Winter in the greenhouse
Hi Brian, Thank you for your kind words and I'm glad you like the Crassula sarmentosa in it's pot, it's one of my favourites. I only have one greenhouse but it is crammed, so maybe you thought there were two, I wish. My greenhouse is at a minimum of 3C but unless it is very cold it is usually at 5 or 6C. If I had two, I would have one as a cold greenhouse, with no heat and the other would be this.
