Product Details
Highlights
Sempervivum 'Lowes 60': A wide-leaved, open rosette with pink leaves and a lime green heart in most seasons and a deep purple flush in winter. It's a rare find in Sempervivum collections, but it produces fairly numerous offsets in the spring to summer growing season.
Hens & Chicks need plenty of outdoor sunlight to show their best colors and maintain a tight rosette form. They thrive in gritty, well-draining soils and pots with drainage holes. They produce new offsets or "chicks" on stolons. These chicks can be left to form tidy clusters or removed to share and transplant.
Sempervivum do most of their growing in the spring and summer, and will thrive with weekly watering and afternoon shade if temperatures exceed 80F. They are incredibly frost hardy and will happily thrive through winter under an insulating blanket of snow. Protect from heavy rains and standing water to prevent rot.

Popular Questions
Haworthia cooperi var. truncata doesn't have variations that are specific colors even though some plants do differ in color.
This has more to do with their environment rather than the variety of plant in question. They'll turn red/orange to varying degrees depending on how much sunlight and water they get. The more sun and less water they get, the more red/orange they'll become, as a general rule.
However, be careful when you're doing this as this particular plant can be sensitive to harsh sunlight! I hope this helps!
If you do order one from us, I don't recommend trying to eat it because we do use pesticides.

However, 65°F isn't too cold for many succulents. Especially once the radiant heat from direct sunlight in an south facing window is factored in, that you wouldn't feel in the air. The issue may have more to do with humidity than temperature. Looking at the relative humidity predictions for Stone County (just as an example) it's suppose to get over 70% in the near future! This makes watering more tricky as plants don't dry out nearly as quickly as they should and rot can set in as a result.
If your house is less humid than it is outdoors, then moving them inside may do them more good than shade cloth outside. In fact, shade cloth may only further prolong drying and exacerbate the problem.

Succulents need grittier soil than other plants because they are adapted to dry conditions and store water in their leaves. Regular potting soil mixes stay damp for long periods of time, which can cause rot in succulents. Instead, use a sandy, well-draining soil so you can water thoroughly without leaving your succulent in standing water.
