Succulent Sempervivum - Sempervivum in a 9cm Pot

Latin name: sempervivum

A few words: Sempervivum are succulent perennials that form mats consisting of rosette-shaped tufted leaves. This variety has a green base tone, but can turn a burgundy, dark red color throughout the year. They are a particularly interesting group of cold-resistant succulents, which are distinguished by the impressive colors that their leaves acquire but also by their very low, extremely dense carpet-like growth and their ability to take advantage of even the smallest and barren crevice. Ideal choice for rock gardens.

Light: Prefers sunny planting locations.

Water: Succulents need very good drainage and for this it is good to use a special substrate for cacti when transplanting. Watering should be repeated every time the substrate dries. We usually water very well and then wait for it to dry.

Temperature: In general, most succulents can withstand temperatures even below zero. Several times low temperatures are responsible for a rich spring flowering as they contribute to the differentiation of the buds from blastophores to flowers. There are of course exceptions that require protection from the cold winter temperatures. In these cases it is good to use antifreeze fabric or to move them to sheltered places when this is possible.

Fertilization: We usually use liquid water-soluble fertilizer for cacti, from the beginning of January until autumn.

Last advice-recommendation: Succulents usually suffer from rotting due to excessive watering, especially in the fall and winter season. So be careful with the substrate we use.
