How can I keep succulents during the winter?

Where do you live? That does make a difference. I am in So CA and the winter season I do nothing at all to them and are quite prolific.

i grow aloe plants, i use grow bulbs in florescent shop fixtures in my basement. over watering will kill them quicker than a herbicide.. some where on this site there are instructions for a self watering planter made of plastic beverage bottles and a scrap of fabric for a wick. i put one together, the aloe start is doing just fine.

Thanks for sharing I will look for the self watering planter.

self watering planter will make the succulents rot. They require very little water as the thickness in the leaves keep them moist for awhile. Look into lower light succulents.The ones you have most likely need more than your place has.

I live in Northern KY and I have many succulents in my landscape. I do nothing and they thrive from year to year. Our winters probably are not as consistently cold as Wisconsin, but we do have cold snaps where the temps are well below freezing for days at a time. If you have your plants indoors, I recommend watching for them to wilt slightly before watering and then water sparingly.

Give them as much sunlight as possible and don't water often. It depends on the size of the pot, but I usually water mine about every ten to twelve days. If the pot is real small, I'll water about every eight days. Stick your finger in the soil about an inch or two. If it feels damp-ish, don't water. Try and keep note on a calendar as to when you water, you will find yourself getting into a routine then you won't risk overwatering.
