Care Tips
Sempervivums are hardy, low-maintenance succulents that thrive with minimal care. Here's a complete guide for keeping them healthy:
-
Full sun is ideal (6+ hours per day).
They tolerate partial shade but grow best and maintain vibrant colours in bright light.
-
Drought-tolerant – less is more!
Water deeply but infrequently; let the soil dry out completely between waterings.
In hot months: every 1–2 weeks.
In cooler months or winter: rarely or not at all (especially outdoors).
-
Hardy to -30°F (-34°C) depending on the variety.
Perfect for outdoor rock gardens, containers, or ground cover.
Indoors: keep near a bright window and away from heaters or cold drafts.
-
They produce "chicks" (offsets) around the mother plant.
Gently separate and replant chicks in spring or summer to propagate.
Each rosette flowers once in its life, then dies—new chicks will take its place.
