Individual Succulent Plug - Sempervivum

Highlights

1.2"W x 1.5"L rooted Sempervivum plug (unlabeled): Sempervivum are hardy rosette succulents that like to grow outdoors year-round. They can change colors from one season to the next and send out new offsets or "chicks" in the spring through summer growing season. Chicks can be left on the mother "hen" to form a cluster or removed and transplanted.

Once established, Sempervivum are drought and frost tolerant. They thrive in sunny locations, with afternoon shade if temperatures exceed 80F. Plant in-ground or in containers with drainage holes and use a gritty, well-draining soil. Sempervivum need protection from heavy rains (particularly in winter) and they are happiest thrive through wintering under an insulating blanket of snow. They will take deep waterings if the weather is hot and dry, but need time for the soil to completely dry before being re-watered.

Overwintering just means to keep a plant alive over the course of a winter. In this context, it means that you can grow the plant outside, in your zone, throughout the winter. See full answer »

Please do not remove the "mesh". Unlike our Mangave plugs, the Sempervivum plugs do not have a biodegradable mesh. What you're looking at are the fibrous roots of the plant itself. See full answer »
