Just wanted to show you my semps tackling cold weather. Some of them got sunburned! I had no idea I should water them when itβs freezing at night. #SucculentLove #Sempervivum #OutdoorGrowing #chickcharms #HensAndChicks

@Artonina story of my life lol! & yes mine all are outside year round. I had a good bunch of them, lost all but 4.. one even has a chick pushing π₯Ή
@Artistic_Stoner thank you! I got a some of mine sunburned, rotten, and perished before their time⦠are you keeping yours outdoors?
@Artistic_Stoner nooooooooo π what caused the loss?
@Artonina my soil, & my material in a pot.. I had too much sand in my soil causing it to compact, so it didnβt let water run through very well & didnβt let the roots breathe OR dry out fast enough.. So I changed around my mix of soil, & strictly use nothing but terracotta pots because they are the most porous to dry out quick. Itβs been a learning experience but I have over 68 varieties of succulents & havenβt lost any since π¬
@Artistic_Stoner wow! What a journey! I am happy for your survivors π I wanna go for terracotta pots or wooden crates for the next summer
@Artonina Gosh thank you, my heart couldnβt take root rot anymore lol. Luckily the experience taught me to be quick & catch when something is wrong. I highly recommend terracotta, especially if thereβs any trouble of soil drying out!
