Care Tips
Sempervivum is one of the most cold-hardy and drought-tolerant succulents, thriving in poor, rocky soils where little else grows. Excellent drainage is essential, as overwatering causes rot. Once established, no water or fertilizer is needed. The plant spreads via offshoots to fill space continuously.
