Plants that take a lot to grow, such as orchids, are a collector’s dream but their fussiness and specific needs take a lot of time and energy to sustain. For us lazy gardeners, sempervivum offers unique form and beauty without any of the effort. Try growing these succulent plants on a rockery, vertical wall or even on driftwood. Sempervivum growing conditions are only limited by good drainage and sunlight.
Once established, sempervivum is very drought tolerant, requiring little to no supplemental watering.
Sempervivum should be feritlized with a controlled-release fertilizer at the beginning of the growing season.
Sempervivum must have very well-draining soil in order to thrive, whether that comes in the form of gritty soil, sand or rocks.
