Growin,
How did you get exposed to it? Glad you made it through, it sounds pretty scary!
I managed to grow succulents in the ground. I've tried before, but our ground water is only about 2' down, so when it rained a lot, they tneded to get root rot.
I raised up and area with sand, garden soil and pebbles. So far so good. It's been a rainy Winter so far. I checked them the other day by tugging on them and they are all firm in the ground, so the roots are happy! Yea!!
Here are pictures of them: Agave 'Cornelius' and Agave univittata.
Now that I know this works, I'm gonna get more!
