The monstera and the other little guy need a new home soon!
I think the monstera needs a bigger one directly to spread her wings. It growed double it’s size in 3 weeks. Has anyone experienced a tipp?

The top pic has one of my very favorite plants in it, it is like a friend, you know?? The sotol, with an agarita behind it and an agave and lechuguilla to it’s left. The sotol has been through some very harsh and hot and also very low temps (close to 0 F, ice and snow) and thrived. Now it is Blooming. Ugh. It is breaking my heart.
@TMAC and those of you who know. My grocery store has cute little succulents outside. Any of them withstand 120F and almost 0F?
I have 7 little pots I want to put something in. 7in or so to smaller. Last year prickly pear failed either because it was too hot or I watered it too much or too little. Failed in the summer. Outside in nature it did not.
Anyway I am just looking for sympathy on my beautiful sotol.
Cheers everyone. Guess I need to look for a replacement sotol.

Where are you that this is your temp range?! Those are HIGH Arizona highs and about 30 under our lowest. Australia? South Africa?
Anyhow, to answer - generally no. Anything that hot is too much for most standard succulents, and most won’t do well under ~40°.

The 120 isn’t the outside temperature it’s just the temperature that it potentially gets on a porch. It’s hot.
Outside temps realistically as low as 5 to 110 or something.
Southern USA.
PS. For anyone who doesn’t know once the sotol blooms, it’s going to die. RIP favorite plant.
Edit. I just did research and see that unlike with Lecheguilla and some of the other plants the sotol is not going to die after blooming. Yay!!!

Since I am not sad now that it will soon die after it blooms, I decided to share the bloom. It has grown this much in about a week… about ten feet so far.

It’s the life cycle and it also shows that it has been very happy in its life. I hope you can find some solace in that.

Internet says sotols don’t die. Says it’s like asparagus. The lechuguilla and lots of others do die. Holding my fingers crossed. Nice words of solace, thanks.
