Sempervivum 'Rojin' Hens & Chicks, 4" Pot Live Plant

Sempervivum ‘Rojin’, commonly known as “hen and chicks,” is a fascinating succulent plant. Let me share some interesting details about it:

1. Appearance:

   • This historic garden plant forms rosettes of smooth, bright red leaves. The color changes throughout the year:
     • In winter, the leaves shade to darker red at the tips and green toward the center.
       

2. Size and Growth Habit:

   • Height: 2 to 4 inches.
   • Growth habit: Low growing, with offshoots that slowly spread wider.
   • Propagation: You can propagate it by cutting one of the “chicks” from the parent clump in early summer. The chicks may already have roots of their own, allowing them to re-establish themselves quickly.
   • Soil requirements: Average soil that drains well.
   • Water requirements: Very drought-tolerant after it establishes itself.
