Maintenance

Caring for your Sempervivum is easy. This plant thrives in full sun, which helps maintain its vibrant colors and compact shape. A location that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight each day is ideal. When watering, this plant is very drought-tolerant, so it's best to let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Use a well-draining soil mix to ensure proper drainage. Knowing how to grow Sempervivum outdoors and indoors is key for its success.

Placement

The best location for your Sempervivum is in a bright, sunny spot. It enhances the beauty of a rock garden, a container arrangement, or even a small pot on a windowsill. Its unique growth habit, bright colours, and impressive resilience make it a perfect choice for both beginners and experienced gardeners.
