Sempervivum Tip

By gg5
March 14, 2013

If you live in an area that is wet and rainy during winter and spring, make sure to check your sempervivums periodically for rot. If the leaves near the base are brown and "mushy," gently lift the plant from the soil. Peel the dead leaves from the stem and let the plant dry out for a day or so, then replant it. Your plant will respond quickly and happily!

I found two new semps while I was at Fred Myers in the Portland area this last week. Hopewell and Saturn. Also a wonderful little Armeria.
