This Sempervivum 'Gold Nugget' listing is for a plant fully rooted in a 2" pot. If you want to plant it individually, look for a pot about 2.5"-3.5" in diameter. You can also plant multiple in a single container, leaving a little space between rosettes. Still try to find a pot less than 6" deep, so that it does not hold too much water. And, as always, pick pots with drainage holes and use gritty, well-draining soil. See full answer »

Can Chick Charms Gold Nugget thrive indoors under grow lights? See answer

7 months ago  •  Staff Answer

They can grow indoors under a Succulent Grow Light or on a south-facing window sill, but they do not show their best colors and can be more vulnerable to rot. All Sempervivum, including Chick Charms, grow best outdoors and can tolerate frosts down to -20F (Zone 5). Cold nights and winters are what bring out their vibrant pigments, and without those they tend to stay greener indoors. See full answer »

Can sempervivum Gold Nugget overwinter indoors on a windowsill then planted outside in the spring? See answer

See more »

Follow

7 months ago  •  Staff Answer

It can, just be sure it gets as much sun as possible or supplement with a Succulent Grow Light. Also remember that Sempervivum growth slows down a lot during the winter, so it should receive little to no water. After all chance of frost has passed, you can move it outdoors and gradually acclimate it to partial then full sun over the course of about two weeks. Then you can plant it, and once it's established a strong root system (about a month) it will be able to tolerate more extreme conditions. See full answer »

Yes! Sempervivum like this 'Gold Nugget' produce lots of new little offsets called "chicks" each spring through summer. The small new rosettes will sprout around the base of the main rosette (the "hen"). They can be left there to root or you can gently pull them off and plant them elsewhere. See full answer »

Would Chick Charms Gold Nugget show its full range of colors outdoors in a temperate climate--without much cold weather? See answer

I saw in your YouTube video that this plant likes -20F to get cold temperature stress to get colorful in winter. We just can't provide that here! See more »

You still can get some great gold tones by gently stressing Sempervivum with full sun and drought. Even in a temperate climate (such as hardiness zones 9+) this 'Gold Nugget' will color up if planted in full sun with rocky, well-draining soil, and very infrequent water. But you're right, you might not see some of the hot pink accents it gets in response to hard frosts. See full answer »

Yes, it is a good practice for plant hygiene to re-pot any plant you buy into a fresh pot and soil. For outdoor succulents like this Sempervivum 'Gold Nugget', you can also plant them outside directly in the ground, since they tolerate temperatures down to -20F. We recommend transplanting them within about a month of receiving your new succulents. If you're using a pot, pick a container with a drainage hole and use a gritty, well-draining succulent soil. For more information, check out the Video Guide to Transplanting Succulents.

When you say sempervivum Gold Nugget can take "full sun," does that include New Mexico's intense sun? See answer

I have lost cacti and succulents in "full sun" because of the intensity of it. I am impressed with your Sempervivum plants, but dont want to "cremate" them See more »

Correct, succulents, including Sempervivum 'Gold Nugget', are impacted by the combined effects of sun, heat, and drought. So in a particularly hot climate, we can compensate by giving them a little less sun exposure and/or a little bit more frequent water. For hot, desert climates like the American Southwest, we recommend planting Sempervivum in spots that get afternoon shade and aiming to giving them a deep watering in the morning before particularly hot days.

It's best to wait until all chance of frost has passed before planting succulents outdoor, including Sempervivum. In the meantime, keep it on a sunny, south-facing sill or under a Succulent Grow Light. Only water if the soil is completely dry and the leaves start to feel less firm. See full answer »
