You should not overwater your plants as this can lead to the root system rotting, which is a frequent killer of succulents. The CA Department of Fish and Wildlife, along with the CA Native Plant Society have increased their vigilance. They are now looking out for suspicious behavior such as people who emerge from hiking trails carrying heavy backpacks and ropes. These backpacks can be bulging and contain telltale roots and stems. A dudleya in the Santa Ana winds season looks like a pile with withered leaves, perhaps with some dry flower stems sticking out.

Here are some shower curtains made from succulents to match your new mat. Although they're rare, crested succulents are affordable and a great addition to any succulent collection. I was inspired by a crested Topsy Turvy I found in Rancho Garcia Nursery’s Etsy shop and decided to add it to my collection. Looking Sharp Cactus also offers a selection of cactus cushions through her shop, though she does not ship them during summer. This little Sedum Angelina crested was found while I was looking through some cold-hardy succulents that I had grown at my parents' house.
