I just found it now when I searched the archives for Amoreuxia. I used the large pots because I planned on keeping small colonies in them for years. Amoreuxia grows a root like a carrot, so the pot needs to be deep. They grow in cracks between rocks so I think the pot can be very narrow. If I went nuts for them and had to have a huge collection I might consider growing them in lengths of 2" / 5cm diameter PVC irrigation pipe stood on end. They go completely dormant in fall. The tops die. They can be kept without water; I would think in the dark would be fine. And mine tolerated winter temperatures into the mid teens F or -9C while dormant and dry (I think.) This is probably colder than they would get in habitat. Leo Martin
