Sempervivum with Pot

🌿 Sempervivum (commonly called hens and chicks) is another popular, hardy succulent — often confused with Echeveria, but it’s a bit tougher and more cold-hardy.

Here’s an overview if you’re looking for Sempervivum with pot or planning to care for one:

🌿 About Sempervivum:

• Shape: Low-growing rosettes, often forming dense clusters (the “hen” is the main rosette; the “chicks” are the offsets).

• Colors: Green, reddish, burgundy, purple, sometimes even variegated depending on the variety and season.

• Size: Rosettes usually 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) wide, but they multiply and spread.

🪴 Pot & Planting Needs:

• Pot: Choose a terra cotta, ceramic, or any pot with drainage holes. These plants hate soggy roots.

• Soil: Use well-draining cactus/succulent mix or sandy soil.

• Arrangement: Looks beautiful in shallow bowls, small decorative pots, or even vertical planters.

☀️ Care Tips:

• Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade; they like bright conditions, especially outdoors.

• Watering: Very drought-tolerant — water deeply but only when soil is completely dry.

• Cold-hardiness: Unlike Echeveria, Sempervivum can survive freezing winters outdoors in many zones. They go dormant but come back in spring.

• Propagation: Offsets (“chicks”) can be separated and replanted easily.
