Sempervivum tectorum - The Charming Hens and Chicks
Enhance your plant collection with the robust beauty of Sempervivum tectorum, commonly known as ‘Hens and Chicks’. This charming succulent is celebrated for its rosette formation and hardy nature, making it a delightful addition to any garden or indoor display.
Features:
- Charming Appearance: 'Hens and Chicks' feature a central rosette, known as the “hen,” surrounded by smaller offset rosettes called “chicks.” The fleshy, pointed leaves are arranged in a symmetrical pattern, typically exhibiting shades of green with hints of red or purple, especially at the tips.
- Hardy Growth: This succulent thrives in well-draining soil and full to partial sunlight, making it ideal for rock gardens, containers, and ground covers. Its robust nature allows it to withstand poor soil conditions and cold temperatures.
- Drought Tolerant: Sempervivum tectorum is highly drought-tolerant, requiring minimal watering and allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardeners.
- Versatile Decor: Perfect for adding texture and interest to any garden or succulent arrangement, 'Hens and Chicks' adds a decorative touch to both indoor and outdoor settings.
- Seasonal Blooms: During the summer, this plant may produce tall flower stalks topped with star-shaped pink or red blooms, adding a splash of color above the rosettes. These flowers are not only attractive but also beneficial for pollinators.
Care Instructions:
- Light: Prefers full to partial sunlight. Ensure the plant receives plenty of light to maintain vibrant colors and healthy growth.
- Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water thoroughly, ensuring good drainage, and avoid letting the plant sit in water.
- Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix to prevent root rot.
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C) but is capable of withstanding colder conditions.
- Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer).
Enhance your plant collection with the charming and hardy Sempervivum tectorum. Its resilience and ability to propagate easily make it a favorite among gardeners and succulent enthusiasts.
Special Note: Please be aware that succulents are fragile and may lose leaves during the shipping process. This is normal and the plant will recover with proper care.
If your area drops below 40°F, we highly recommend adding a heat pack to your order. 🌡️❄️
