Purple Sempervivum tectorum — also known as Hens and Chicks (Purple variety) — is a hardy, rosette-forming succulent known for its stunning purple tones, symmetrical shape, and ability to thrive in tough conditions. It’s one of the most resilient and easy-to-grow succulents, making it perfect for both beginners and collectors.


🌿 Overview

·         Scientific Name: Sempervivum tectorum

·         Common Names: Houseleek, Hens and Chicks, Purple Sempervivum

·         Origin: Mountainous regions of southern Europe


🌸 Appearance

·         Forms tight rosettes of pointed, fleshy leaves that range from greenish-purple to deep burgundy, depending on sunlight and temperature.

·         Produces small offsets ("chicks") around the mother rosette ("hen"), forming dense clusters.

·         In summer, mature rosettes may bloom with pinkish or reddish star-shaped flowers before dying — but the offsets continue the plant’s life cycle.


🌞 Light Requirements

·         Prefers full sun to develop its best purple color.

·         In partial shade, leaves stay more green.

·         Indoors, place near a bright south or west-facing window.


💧 Watering

·         Follow the “soak and dry” method — water deeply only when the soil is completely dry.

·         Avoid overwatering; it is drought-tolerant but sensitive to standing water.

·         In winter, reduce watering significantly.


🌱 Soil

·         Needs well-draining soil, such as a cactus/succulent mix.

·         You can improve drainage with perlite, pumice, or coarse sand.

·         Avoid heavy clay soils that retain moisture.


🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

·         Cold hardy: tolerates frost and snow (down to –20°C).

·         Prefers cool to moderate temperatures.

·         Low humidity is ideal — too much moisture can cause rot.


🌼 Fertilizer

·         Rarely needs feeding.

·         If desired, use a diluted succulent fertilizer once during spring for growth support.
