Just sharing my paddle plant. It’s green in winter and bright red in spring/summer! Also showing my Aeonium Arboreums beginning to color up as well.

I’m jealous. Wish I could grow such plants outside. I’m zone 7. But starting some hardy succulents this spring. They are outside now in individual pots acclimating. Hoping to put them in more permanent containers within a few weeks, and then they should be able to stay out year round.

I have one optunia that is Hardy in zone 5. I picked it up off the sidewalk. It broken from the parent plant.

Good luck! I do bring these three plants inside during the coldest nights in winter, but that’s not often because I’m in zone 9b.

Very cool! I hope it thrives!

That's so pretty. I call them flapjack. I'll be enough, it is a type of kalanchoe.

I fricken LOVE paddle plants. Yours is very vibrant ... I'm working on mine. And your Aeonium is stunning! Way to grow.

I have a paddle plant I got from a friend and it’s done amazingly in my window over the winter. I tried moving him outside now that it’s summer (I’m in central FL) and when I tried, the leaves started wrinkling and turning yellow. Moved him back inside and he’s back to thriving. What’s the deal??
