Highlights
Chain Plant (Callisia navicularis) (previously Tradescantia) (Hunt): A creeping, trailing house plant that can develop fun colors. The boat-shaped leaves give it its name and change color depending on light exposure. Keep your plant in a sunny spot to get vibrant pink and magenta tones. It grows sprawling stems that can reach over 12.0" long. It blooms in summer with hot pink flowers of three petals with each flower lasting only a day.
Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need ample sunlight, good drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.

Questions & Answers
Popular Questions
• Staff Answer
No, unlike our individual succulents, all of the packs arrive unlabeled.
• Staff Answer
This set will very likely include hens and chicks (Sempervivum) and Mexican hens and chicks (Echeveria), but it may include other rosette plants that are not considered hens and chicks.
• Staff Answer
The Sempervivum set will have only Sempervivum (Hens & Chicks) while the Rosette Set will include other genera like Echeveria. So there could be some duplicates of Sempervivum between the two in any given week.
• Staff Answer
Each of the succulents in this tray comes fully rooted in its own 2" square, plastic grow pot with drainage holes. It's always good plant hygiene to replant into a new pot with well-draining soil (or in the ground if they're hardy in your Grow Zone), but your succulents can stay in the grow pots they arrive in for up to about a month after delivery if necessary.
• Staff Answer
Not necessarily. We make all of our sets and trays each week based on the types of succulents that are in peak season. The photos are sample only, but you will get a range of varieties that all fit the theme of the set or tray.
• Staff Answer
To pick the exact, individual plants you want, you'll want to shop here in our main catalog. Unfortunately, we cannot take specific requests in trays or sets, because we make them in bulk each week base on the varieties that are in peak season. But you'll always get a good mix of succulent types that match the theme of the tray or set.
• Staff Answer
No. The only requirement for the rosette tray is that all of the plants have a rosette shape. That applies to Sempervivum, which are hardy, and to Echeveria, which are not.
• Staff Answer
Most rosettes do, however, some are much better at it than others.
• Staff Answer
Some will survive zone 4, but most will not. We don't have any sets specifically for zone 4, but you can browse our zone 4 plants by clicking the link below.
