Sempervivum tectorum with pups (also known as Hens and Chicks) is a hardy, rosette-forming succulent that’s famous for its ability to produce many offsets (pups) around the main plant. Here’s a detailed explanation:

🌿 About the Plant

·         Scientific name: Sempervivum tectorum

·         Common names: Houseleek, Hens and Chicks, Roof Houseleek

·         Family: Crassulaceae

🌸 Appearance

·         The main rosette (the “hen”) is made of thick, fleshy leaves that store water.

·         The plant produces small rosettes (pups) around its base — these are the “chicks.”

·         Leaves are usually green to reddish depending on sunlight and temperature.

·         The plant forms tight rosettes with pointed tips, giving a star-like appearance.

🌼 Flowers

·         It produces a tall flower stalk in summer with clusters of pink to reddish-purple star-shaped flowers.

·         After flowering, the mother rosette dies, but the surrounding pups continue to grow — ensuring the plant survives and spreads.

🌞 Light Requirement

·         Prefers full sun to partial shade.

·         The more sunlight it gets, the more vibrant its colors become.

💧 Watering

·         Needs very little water — water only when the soil is completely dry.

·         Overwatering can lead to root rot.

·         During winter, water sparingly or not at all.

🌱 Soil

·         Requires well-draining soil — cactus or succulent mix is ideal.

·         You can add sand or perlite to improve drainage.

🌡️ Temperature

·         Very cold-hardy — can survive freezing temperatures (up to -20°C).

·         Ideal for outdoor rock gardens, pots, or terraces.

🌾 Propagation

·         Easily propagated through pups (offsets):

1.      Gently separate a pup from the mother plant.

2.      Allow it to dry for a day or two.

3.      Replant in well-draining soil and water lightly.

🪴 Care Tips

·         Avoid standing water around roots.

·         Remove dead rosettes after flowering to maintain plant health.

·         Perfect for rock gardens, wall crevices, and sunny balconies.
