This is what happens when you keep a #HensAndChicks in too small a pot, on too dark a shelf for too long. Is it wrong that I actually LOVE it!?!?!? 😍 I know it needs to be repotted but I really want to keep its bizzaro shape. 😁 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #Sempervivum #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #WhatTheSuccWednesday #StrangePlants

What exactly is this plant called, when I got it the card said a chic now I'm not sure what is #Sempervivum

Esther was doing great and budding and when I repotted her a few weeks ago she started declining. Anything I can do to save her? #Sempervivum

New chicks or death bloom? Growth coming out is the center of three of the rosettes. #Sempervivum

Rotting? #Sempervivum I’ve never seen this before- anybody know what caused this?

My succ is really a semp pacific knight but they don’t have that listed. It got caught in the rain about a month ago and was drowned. Do you think it will grow again? #Sempervivum

#WhatTheSuccWednesday #NewGrowth #SucculentLove #Sempervivum #FloweringPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants #PlantMomentsoftheWeek #plantmom Y’all, can you please take a moment out of your day and just look at these beauties 🥰 I am just in awhhhh 😍 My FIRST Sempervivum/Hens and Chicks blooms! Not my first Hens and Chicks plant though!! So I’ve got 3 pots blooming at the same time (of course) and the flowers are all different colors! Pink, yellow, and white! Sadly, the flowers are sucking all of the life out of the Hens, but I guess that’s real life! Our kids such the life out of us sometimes, right 🤪 But FOREAL FOREAL! If you’re new to Sempervivums, once the Hen’s bloom, they die, but right before they bloom, they send out pups (Chicks) which can then be propagated! I’m not ready to lose the Hens because they’re absolutely beautiful, but I’ve been on the edge of my seat, patiently waiting on these blooms! So as happy as I am to see flowers, I’m not 😓 And my little Perle Von Nurnberg has some fresh new growth ♥️♥️

Still blooming! Unfortunately, a new #Sempervivum is also joining its friend in the death march. This one was due to transplant stress and was too new to provide any progeny. You will be missed, you one of a kind bloomer💜💜💜

A you leave this plant outside all year long? Can you leave plant outside all year long? #Sempervivum
