The sempervivum works , commonly called " hens and chicks , " is an attractive , stalwart , easy to care for succulent . Although there are over 40 unlike species of sempervivum plants , all have the characteristics of plump , pointed tip leaves that constitute russet scab - shaped foliage . The flora will flower during the summer month with wiz -haped flowers in pink or sensationalistic colors . An evergreen perennial , the sempervivum works is stale - hardy and need little tutelage . Often found in stone garden at higher height , the sempervivum industrial plant is also a popular houseplant .
Things Needed
The sempervivum plant life , unremarkably call " hen and dame , " is an attractive , hardy , easy to care for succulent . Although there are over 40 different specie of sempervivum plants , all have the characteristics of plump , pointed steer leaves that organise rosette - shaped foliage . The plant life will blossom during the summertime months with star -haped peak in pink or white-livered colouration . An evergreen perennial , the sempervivum flora is insensate - hardy and requires footling maintenance . Often found in rock gardens at high altitude , the sempervivum industrial plant is also a popular houseplant .
Step 1
take a location for the sempervivum flora that will receive full sun . The plant will grow best and fly high in full Dominicus , which brings out the subtle colors of redness and pink on the edge of the rosette leave .
Step 2
Use unclouded contractile organ ’s sand or George Sand for a child ’s sandbox to mix into your soil where you contrive to grow a sempervivum plant life , if the territory is not already game and well draining . Sempervivums can grow and thrive in almost any well - debilitate granulose character filth .
Step 3
Water occasionally during the growing full stop of summer . provide the soil to dry before sparingly and slowly watering the sempervivums . They require period of juiceless soil between lachrymation to thrive and prefer drouth - like conditions to grow .
Step 4
Use pruning shears to bring down out utter rosette , top heavy , or contrary growth . Sempervivum plants will propagate by mail novel rosettes from the female parent plant , and can become invasive . Once a little potato blooms , it will die . Use the Modern " baby " rosettes to fill in where a little potato has die by carefully trim out the dead , then place a novel rosette you pruned off into the space .
Warning
If your soil is heavy or remains and you do not add sand to it , your sempervivum plant will probably die from rotting . The loose and , in reality , inadequate your territory is , the better the plants fly high . Too much nutrients in the soil , or over fertilizing , will also be prejudicious to a sempervivum and may have them to rot . It is good to under fecundate , or rarely feed the plant with fertiliser forge for cacti .
