Hi M, I'd be interested in a cutting of H. serpens, unrooted would be fine, I could send you a unrooted cutting of E. 'Cleo' or something else in exchange. You don't have an email contact on your members page but I have one on mine, hoping to hear from you. Annette

Mine bloomed one flower cluster last year, developed more peduncles that did nothing. In Jan., the peduncles started to develop, then blasted at some point. Now I see a couple starting to develop again - we'll see what happens. Hope we both get them this time! Denise in Omaha

I would just wait until it is in need of watering, and then spray lightly with the spray of water. If that doesn't do it, and it still bothers you, you could just take a Q-Tip and rub them lightly. Marcy

Tammy, Wow, every two weeks?! The ones I have in the house (where we keep it cool, cool, COOL) get watered once a week pretty much year round. I don't like to let them get too dry... The ones in the GH get water every few days as they're out in the heat. It's hard to keep up with the watering in the GH this time of year as I have lots of other succulents to stay on top of also. That little serpens, though, is a bugger. I've found it's a tough one to water right. The fine line between too much water, which causes the leaves to yellow and drop, and too little water, which makes them dry up, is like walking a tight-rope! It's been doing pretty good lately - I put it in the sunroom late this winter because I read they don't like it real hot, and I think between the cooler temp and the ceiling fan that blows constantly, I've got the right conditions now.
