I've seen a lot of agaves of several species (apologies in advance for the lack of more precise ID) successfully wintered over (October to May) in dark warm basements with no light and no water.

Here in our country temperatures are almost always above 30C, and the west windows become so hot. In my office window facing east, i plant dwarf Sansevieria. They get direct sunlight from sunrise to noon, dont receive any fertilization at all, just a little water every morning, and they are so beautiful.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-45979418094067429932011-10-07T16:10:12.039-07:002011-10-07T16:10:12.039-07:00A very useful list now I am trying succulents.

I usually sum it up with the genera: Sansevieria, Gasteria, Haworthia, Rhipsalis (or other jungle cacti). Now when it comes up, I can happily point to this piece.Sentient Meathttp://sentientmeat.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-64692574147874782602011-10-07T11:38:47.401-07:002011-10-07T11:38:47.401-07:00If winter succulents count, Mexican Pinguicula suc...If winter succulents count, Mexican Pinguicula such as Pinguicula agnata or one of the common cultivars such as P.
