Sempervivum tectoru 'Hart 8'

Growth Characteristics

Sempervivum tectorum 'Hart 8' is a succulent plant belonging to the Portulacaceae family. This plant primarily grows in rosette forms, and its thick, fleshy leaves allow it to withstand dry environments well. The more sunlight it receives, the more beautiful the leaf color becomes, which may turn purple or red.

Propagation Methods

Sempervivum is mainly propagated through offsets. Small offsets form around mature rosettes, and they can be easily propagated by detaching them and planting them in a new location. Spring is the appropriate time for propagation, and care must be taken not to detach offsets before they mature.

Cultivation Methods
 - Soil: Well-draining soil mixed with sand or gravel is suitable.
 - Watering: It is sensitive to overwatering, so it is best to water only after the soil has completely dried out. Water once every 1-2 weeks according to the usual schedule. 3. Sunlight: It requires at least half sunlight. Since it tolerates direct sunlight well, a sunny location is suitable.
 - Temperature: It is resistant to cold, but may require some protection during extremely harsh winters.
