Sempervivum 'Grey Lady' (4 inch)
Sempervivum 'Grey Lady' is a succulent variety hybridized from S. 'Silverine.' The large rosette with silvery green leaves and slender, smooth leaves with downy edges. Sempervivum succulent plants will slowly change color under the right stress, turning pink and purple until they turn burgundy, which is very beautiful. The succulent will produce new offsets that also be called chicks.
-How to care for Sempervivum 'Grey Lady'-
Sun/Location: Like most hens-and-chick succulents, Sempervivum 'Grey Lady' requires a lot of sunlight to keep its beautiful color and compact shape. It is suitable for growing in a full sun outdoor garden rather than indoors. The hardy succulent can grow well in the frost winter and thrive even under snow.
Soil/Pot: This easy to grow succulent can adapt to harsh environments. A gritty and well-draining cactus soil mix is enough for it. It is easy to make soil for the succulent, by adding sand, perlite and grit in potting soil. Grow your succulent in a planter pot with drainage holes is essential.
Watering: As an outdoor succulent, Sempervivum 'Grey Lady' is a very drought-tolerant plant from dry areas. Doesn't require much care in winter. If you live in an area with high summer temperatures, remember to water promptly every week and make sure the soil is dry between watering.
