Most of my Sempervivum and Jovibarba do very well in our very wet winter and spring. But I do have a few that are not happy in these conditions.

This is a list of semps and heuffelii that some of us are having rot problems during the wet season.

S. 'Isella' is one of them. Such a shame, as this is a very large and gorgeous semp. It is distressing to see it struggle so this time of year. I think I just need to find it a home in a bit drier climate. It always ends up healthy by mid summer, but I have to clean all the rotted leaves from it.

Here is what it looked like last summer after coming out to the rot.
