How to Water Hardy Sempervivum and Sedum
- Plant in sandy, well-draining soil and use pots with drainage holes.
- Wait until the soil is fully dry before watering.
- Err on the side of deep, infrequent watering.
- Check plants and soil regularly for signs of over- or under-watering and adjust accordingly.
Do Sempervivum come back every year?
What happens when a Sempervivum blooms? Semps can produce vegetative offsets (chicks) every year, so they do not need to flower to reproduce new seedlings annually. They are, however, a monocarpic plant, meaning that any rosette that does flower and go to seed will die.
How much sun does a Sempervivum need?
Most varieties need at least 3-4 hours per day in sun. Few survive in full shade.
Can you stop Sempervivum from flowering?
You can temporarily halt the blooming process by scooping out the bloom stalk with a sharp, clean knife. This only works if you catch the bloom stalk as soon as the rosette center starts to close in and elongate.
What is wrong with my Sempervivum?
They are susceptible to root rot if the soil is soggy and holds too much water – these are hardy plants, but they can’t withstand wet, especially in the winter. This will show as blackened leaves on the bottom of the rosette. If all else fails, take the plant out of the pot, and dry it out quite severely.
How often do you water sempervivum?
Sempervivum require very little water – as with most succulent plants. They dislike sitting in waterlogged soil, which can cause root rot. Water very occasionally, when the soil is dry. Again, as with most succulents, one generous watering once in a while is better than lots of light waterings.
How do you revive an overwatered succulent?
Dig the succulent out of the soil and remove excess soil stuck to the roots, cut off any brown/black roots as these are rotten already. Leave the plant on a mesh or any kind of strainer till the roots have air dried from anywhere two to three days. When the roots are dry completely, plant them back in the pot.
