I adore sempervivums. There's over 3000 different varieties from around the world. I would love to get hold of the yellow leafed one from Yugoslavia............sigh........hope this helps. (you won't have to water it, but gritty soil that is fast draining in a clay pot would be preferable madgardener up on the ridge, back in Fairy Holler overlooking English Mountain in Eastern Tennessee zone 7, Sunset 36 where there's LOTS of sempervivums, cacti, succulents and tropical along with all the perennials and what not........ |

hens chicks?
In article ,
says... i purchased a nice plant this weekend at a thrift store and would like some information about care and propagation. can someone help me? http://www.inkweb.com/plant2/succulent.jpg Very light on the watering, deep watering once every couple of weeks. Where ever you plant it or place the planter it is growing in, let it be rather than changing locations through out the Summer. -- Lar It is said that the early bird gets the worm, but it is the second mouse that gets the cheese. |
