Hen & Chicks Houseleeks, Sempervivum Succulent Seeds -- 20 Fresh Seeds
 
Sempervivum are not difficult to grow, provided they are not waterlogged and killed from excess watering. They can be easily grown outdoors and in containers, and they earned the name “Houseleeks” from their tendency to root on the roofs of houses. After the mother plant flowers, it will naturally die, but by this time, the plant has likely produced many offsets that will continue to grow. These are excellent for cold windows.
 
Light: Full sun. Perfect for a sunny window.

Water: Water during the summer and spring, making sure drainage is immaculate. Reduce water in the winter to monthly.

Temperature: Prefers average summer temps (65ºF/18ºC – 70ºF/21ºC). In winter, some varieties can withstand temperatures down to freezing.

Soil: A well-drained succulent mix, with an ideal pH around 6.0 (slightly acidic).

Fertilizer: Feed with a controlled-release fertilizer in the beginning of the season or weekly with a weak liquid solution. Use a balanced 20-20-20 fertilizer at 1/4 strength on mature plants, and a fertilizer with less nitrogen on young plants.
