GROWING INFO

• Climate: Zone 5 - 10. Protect from heavy rain
• Where to Grow: Sempervivum thrive outdoors in full sun with afternoon shade. Good for both containers and in-ground. Long-term indoor growing possible in areas with multiple hours of direct sun, but colors may fade
• Acclimation: Allow about two weeks to gradually transition from bright shade to partial sun after delivery
• Transplanting: We recommend transplanting within 1-2 weeks. If removed from carrier tray, plants can stay in original pots for several weeks with proper care
• Soil: Use gritty, well-draining soil to promote root growth and prevent rot, e.g. a cactus or succulent potting mix from your local garden center
• Watering: Water deeply and only when the soil is completely dry. Actual frequency varies by location, container, soil, and season
• Containers: Use any kind of container, but drainage holes are recommended 
• Propagation: Propagate Sempervivum by removing offsets (chicks) and transplanting
• Color: Sempervivum can change colors several times throughout the year; peak color is usually spring and/or fall
• Blooms: Depending on variety, Sempervivum usually bloom every 2-5 years. Bloom stalk is 6"-12" with multiple pink flowers. Once a mother hen blooms, it dies, but its chicks will carry on for future years.

Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
