Sempervivum arachnoideum ā€˜Cebenese’ care and info

I got my youth leader a succulent for his birthday that’s coming up next week, but he doesn’t have any succulents and I’m unfamiliar with this one, could anyone give me some tips/care/info about this one. It was originally in a 2.5 inch container, and I put it in a 6 inch turtle shaped pot, although I wouldn’t say it’s full 6 inch because the head itself is not only smallish but an inch wide so yeah, I’d say it’s at least 5 inches. I was going to put it on a note so he knows the care it takes, thank you all in advance! #HensAndChicks @4eva @Caitlan @GemGliricidia54 @izzyandsugar @justaplantsgirl @MalagueƱa @MelodiousMint29 @Preciousplants1 @princesspitstop @SillyPlantGirl @Slyvie @stephongreg @SuperbRaspfern @YernRhodotus46 @Ciel @debbiedo @EarlyBokchoi20 @HFplantoasis @MariansOasis @OpulentWorm @RealAtom96 @SpyderLily @CrazyVesperanza @Kittylover1612 @pippi @PlantLord
That's super cute
Hi Lyra, here is some information I found good luck. https://gardenbeast.com/sempervivum-arachnoideum-guide/
@SpyderLily Ikr! And it actually has a drainage hole with a plug. I’ve never been able to find an animal shaped pot with drainage holes! I might have to go back to Home Depot and get myself one XD
I love it!! I never saw one one those before, those little "cobwebs" are they sharp like a "grandpa cactus"..? And I love the pot! Where did you get it?
@izzyandsugar No, the ā€œcobwebsā€ are not sharp, they are soft. I had also googled it. This is a variant of Hens and Chicks. I hope I understood that first question correctly. Anyway, as for that second question, this pot that I got is from Home-Depot, it's only available for a limited time, you can either get the turtle one or there's also a hedgehog one, I'll give you the link to both, but they are only like 10 bucks each.

I’m going to give you a link to Google Docs with the links but yeah. https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1BcrQKUX4Su1LK_DqN5YZP0vxtDKb-mdWZVaOQFlSwHw/mobilebasic
@LikelyChaya33 I love it😊 I have some hen and chicks too. And my best advise is to not overwater, that is almost the only way they die🤣 And they need lots of lots of light, to stay healthy.

I have mine outside in the summer, gradually getting them used to full sun. Usually under a roof so they don't get rained on.
In winter I have them inside in a south-facing window with full sun in a cooler room. But they also would tolerate the winter outside (I have some in the ground too, on a dry spot). I water about every 2 weeks I thinkšŸ¤”, and I soak them when I do. Usually I feel the leaves if they are starting to get a little softer, then it is time to water.
@MockingJay thank you

Also omg I love that Bulbasaur pot (is that Bulbssaur? Idk I don’t play PokĆ©mon)
@LikelyChaya33 yes it is bulbasaur šŸ˜„ African (dark) versionšŸ‘€ I didn't have the right colors to print it right, but turned out great either wayšŸ˜„
