If you live in humid equatorial lowlands, sempies are going to be more of a challenge. They can handle hotter summers if they get a temperature downswing at night. They're native to the mountain ranges in Europe, Alpine regions to Mediterranean and Anatolian highlands. So if you live in lowlands on the Indian subcontinent, you should probably keep them indoors if you have air conditioning and a dehumidifier to use during the monsoon season. I live in the southern Appalachians at about 3k ft above sea level, summers can get to 110f and winters as low as -10f. They don't need a substrate that retains water at all. Down there in humidtown, instead of planting them in soil you might want to try putting an old broken terracotta pot in a bag and bash it to pea gravel size pieces, use that for soil
thank you so much for your inputs....very well put across :)
Grow them indoors! Also I have found the secret! It's called a "Spray Bottle". 1 squirt by the roots when soil dries is all u need and they stay healthy and not wet.
oh wow thanks for the tip will definitely try the Spray bottle method thank you so much 😊
@@LushGardener Your idea appeals..Will try in coming seasons..
I have found they don’t like living indoors I live were they grow great all year round …. But the problem with them indoors is they like a cold dormancy
They love outdoors. I live in Ontario, Canada, mine stays under pile of snow whole winter but after winter Boom....pretty colorful n lots of babies.In summer also they are outdoors rain n sun.
The best most comprehensive video on this finicky little plant! Thank you so much! 🙂
Thank you so much for watching sir 🙂
Thank you for this video. I battle with my sempervivums for about a year now. I feel so much better now.
Haha I know I didn’t want to stress more on it 🥲
A lot of sempervivum species are native here in Italy but they grow only on the mountains, usually over 1800m. So I had the chance to observe them in their natural environment in every condition and season. Yes they do grow un rocky soil, but adding so much sand doesn't work. You should make a pile of little stones arranged in a circle and fill it with a very little but rich soil. Alternatively you could use very little pots filled with rich soil and bury it completely in a sand or grit filled larger pot. About the temperature my one are now in the balcony at 39°C, under direct sun can be well over 50, and over and no one seems to soffer a lot, but the sunshine is limited to the morning hours, and I live at 500m on sea level. That means during the day the heat can be very strong, but nightime the temp drop drastically. Ventilation is essential, they can stand -20°C to +50°C but only with a very low humidity. What makes them soffer is very hight humidity not hight temp.
thank you so much for the information ...its best to get information from someone who has closely observed them thanks a ton :)...yes i have seen the pictures they grow like weed lol in small puddles of little soil that's available to them ....in my city humidity is not an issue its very dry ...but the issue is short winters ..i would say very very mild winters ...the minimum is 19 c and just for about 2 months or so...i also read some articles that say they need prolonged cold winters ..hence it wont work here :(
I’m literally repotting one right now. It is new and I hope I can take your advice and grow it well indoors.
indoor I don’t think they will do well sempervivum need outdoor conditions
I finally see a hope to save my plant in next summer, although it will be not easy here in Rajasthan.Thank you for this precious information
yes mam just try your best ….wishing you all the best ☺️
Thanks a tonn for making a video on this.... 🙏
thank you so much for watching ☺️
Thank you for this video. Very helpful information 🙏

There are several species of this particular type of succulent. Many can be grown outside even in North America. They will survive the winter and come back in the spring.
My experience with sempervivum for several years was that they would grow beautifully in my containers outside during the summer but when I would bring them inside for the winter they would be noticeably unhappy. We have quite warm and humid summers here. The sempervivum type that I had apparently loved that warm, humid weather, however, soon after I would bring them in during the fall they would start to shrink and eventually die.
This year I have kept them alive throughout the winter months ….so far. I used a soil mixture that had a little more grit. Don’t know if that has anything to do with it. The major difference has been that I water them a lot more. Our home tends to be quite dry during the winter due to the central heating running so much with it being so cold outside. I also am using grow lights.
I have to say that most of the plants that I bring inside due to cold weather tend to pout quite a bit. They do not like the change of habitat. Some people say that we should gradually get them used to the change but that would be very difficult with so many plants of various kinds.
I do think that grow lights and changing watering habits has made the biggest difference. Some species of plants are dormant during our winter season and the requirements of both light and water are different than during the summer. I have been pretty much ignorant about changing how much I water plants during the winter and actually it may be that the sempervivum did not get enough water during the very dry winter months. Many plants just cannot tolerate the dry air and lack of sunlight even in the winter. Most house plants are tropical and need more humidity. The succulents are the most difficult to figure out, especially with so many different types with different growing seasons and light requirements.
Next summer I hope to plant quite a few sempervivum in the ground and hope for the best when summer arrives the following year.
My grandmother always had “hens and chicks” in her large flower garden. I wish that I had learned from her how to grow things so well as she once did. Sadly, she was gone by the time that I was old enough to have my own garden.
Awe m sorry to hear about your grandma i’m sure she loved her sempervium 🙂yes sempervium love temperatures that are lower ….and yes the more gritty works well for them ….I actually had a few but the moment my city enters the month of April that’s it they start having issues but yes I did try the more gritty soil and they seemed to do well unfortunately I lost them while moving to another house … maybe in future I will try them again the issue with me is I have 1500 plus succulents and hardly have much time to attend each succulent and so I give up on the ones that need constant check and then the month of April they just can’t handle 35 degress Celsius that’s like 95 degrees so I had a stuff time with them 😞
Yes it’s take a lot to understand succulents unlike other house plants … I think it’s mainly because of their habitat
Sorry to hear about your grandmother...
I am growing Sempervivums since 2004, so I have quite some expierience.
I killed the first ones i got because I took them inside during the winter...
Then I realized that they are VERY tolerant to even harsh frost as long as they are given time to acclimate. So you cannot just throw them into the freezer in summer (please don`t do that!), but if you plant them in the ground and don`t do anything to comfort them during autumn, they should be able to survive frost at least down to -20°C (i think thats -4°F)...
Of course I cannot guarantee you anything, but mine have survived 14 winters with those temperatures already.
Sidenote: If they are etiolated, they will not tolerate any frost at all, so in this case, don`t get them outside!
Really, Sempervivum is a very unusual succulent, you cannot treat it like almost all other ones. The same goes for the sedum-variants that come from the alps. They come from an enviroment with cold winters and only moderately warm summers, so they are specialized for a climate that is almost the exact opposite of what most other succulents are adapted to.
please water your plant (sempervivum) in winter only once every 3-4 weeks
I leave them outside in the pot and it’s comes back every year in summer. You never kill them if u keep them outside
Mine was dead too due to high temperature. Stopped buying sempervivums completely
Yes unfortunately…. But in India certain places like Uttarakhand, Dehradun, Northeast , Ooty they grow very well and that’s were most of sempervium are grown and dispatched
I’m with you 👍🏽
Haha thank you so much for watching ☺️
Oh thank you for info
Any time
Thank u so much. My favourite ❤️ succulent.
thank you so much for watching mam ☺️
I personally absolutely love the succulent it does well in my climate even know where. I live we have huge temperature changes through our summer and winter. Where I live in the winter I can get down to -10°F and in the summer up to 110°F. Last year we even had it is hot as 115°F
I have learned when he gets really hot if you put them where they get afternoon shade they seem to do quite well.
This is a very informative video
Nice sharing 👍
Please stay connected
thank you so much for watching ☺️
Thank you very much for sharing the info. I feel so bad when these plants die.
I know it’s so heartbreaking even mine was doing so well in winter and as soon as the summer hit the sempervivum started to deteriorate 😒
@@LushGardener yes true
Very informative 👍
thank you so much for watching sir 😊
Dear, every plant grows in its habitats or one should create the same environment. Tender succulents will not survive in harsh conditions. Best suited temperature for them is 15 to 27 degrees centigrade. In ncr delhi either opt for greenhouse or for hard succulents..
Also use cinder 85% and rest other course sand compost fungicides bone meal, neem cake etc . No clay or cocopeat be used.. Take care of succulents like a baby.. Only then we will succeed..
absolutely correct sir … you have penned down it so well yes it’s so important for us to provide the exact same environment 😊
thank you so much for you valuable input reallly appreciate it 😊
@@LushGardener Thanks dear
Mine are doing wonderful but I keep them outside from day one and it does not get super hot here in michigan, Northern usa.
ah lucky you …yup here they do well in winters as temperatures are around 15-25 c but in the month of April it touch’s 34 c that’s when they give up..
they are frost hardy ..and you have a very pleasant summer environment so works well for them
Yes it's very difficult to save this in
Delhi temperature. Today I also lost my first succulent n that was tha same Laxmi Kamal. 😔
Oh no 😕
Hi Frank, Have you ever had this happen? I lost more than half of my succulents, Echeverias, Graptopelaum Amethystine, Golden Sedum, Senseco Blue Chalk Sticks, very sad. They developed a dark purple color down inside the leaves. I was heartbroken. The leaves were firm, not squishy and not transparent albeit I could tell the dark color was not on the surface. 🥵My environment has been absolutely awful, 40C and humidity in the 90s for several months. AWFUL. So glad for air-conditioning!!!! I was very careful with the watering. What happened? 😕😥
ohhh no that’s terrible…this is due to the environment…I never had this issue apart from few dry rot ….yes I got the dark purple part …it’s an internal rot due to heat most probably and high humidity…90 percent good lord that very high and 40 c isn’t helping either I think moving them indoor would have been better idea where they outdoor ? sorry didn’t ask …yes it’s due to the environment…yes all the varieties apart from echeveria were dormant that 40 was too high …echeveria also can handle that heat and the humidity…so both the combination was deadly …I know how heartbreaking it is ..but please dont stress yourself…it wasn’t your fault 😒
Bottom line... One must grow plants which are native of ur own environment 🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely or make few adjustments but it still can be slightly challenging 😥
That is not true at all. You disproved your initial statement by providing the proper growth medium . So . You learned nothing at all ?
@@strateshooter1402 I didn’t quite understand what your trying to say here ….you learned nothing at all ?
Never grow them indoors. Try to put them in a shady part of the garden without a lot of sun and you don't have to put them in succulent soil ... for sempervivum it doesn't matter at all. Leave them in the garden to take care of themselves. All the best .
How are they doing now? I am having the same problem. It has been a crazy rainy summer where I live. Last year, they did pretty well. It was hot, but dry. Now it is hot and rainy and I am losing Mini to rot. This makes me very sad because they have become my favorite succulent because of how beautiful they are in the winter here. Did your more gritty soil help them survive? That is what I am going to try because I have so many of them and don’t want to lose them. I am currently taking off dead and rotted leaves and trying to save the ones I have. I hope yours did well. Thank you for this video . I will subscribe 😊
they didn’t survive…they don’t survive n my environment for long due to the heat …they prefer dry nd cooler environment…they don’t like. humid weather and they don’t like too much moisture …that’s one reason they are rotting n your place as you said it raining quite a lot same here …I think we have pretty much same environment…unfortunately sempervivum don’t do well indoor as well …try making a gritty soil but doubt it will much help as it’s all about the environment…same here during winters ther are ok by summer in the month of April they get weak so I completely quit keep them
@@LushGardener , Thank you so very much for your reply. I am sorry that I am late to see your reply. I have been working a lot . I am so sorry to hear that your sempervivums didn’t survive. It’s so sad when we try so hard to make a plant be happy and it doesn’t want to be happy in our environment. And of course I wouldn’t want to grow them indoors because part of the beauty of these plants is that they get so gorgeous in the winter time. That is why I fell in love with them. They made everything look so beautiful while all of the trees and everything around me was dormant . What’s strange is that they were flourishing so well . Then suddenly, rotting and dying. Even the ones that were sheltered from the rain and in the most perfect potting mix look terrible. I’m ready to finally give up too . I’ll try to save the ones I have , but I won’t waste more money on them . On the plus side , some of them that are in the ground seem happy . I have been plucking dead leaves and top dressing with crushed granite to keep the leaves off the soil . I love your accent and enjoyed your videos so much. Thank you so very much and I hope you are doing well. 😊
Sir may I ask what are your succulents that survived in Summer because I guess our weather in Philippines is quite similar to your Summer season? Thanks
yes we have very similar environment…
mine survive the summer because the temperatures in my city does rise above 33 degrees 😊🪴
Now I understand bwhy I was advised not to have them
haha yes ….climate issue 😕
The one u have used in ur thumb nail... The same one died yesterday...soil was very dry but when I watered it...it became soggy n died
Oh god …..it’s so heartbreaking….mine usually die in April and I checked withdrew collector’s in Bangalore she said the same they stopped sempervivum coz even theirs died in april may ….throughout they were all good
@@LushGardener I'm just left with one with lots n lots of babies... I hope tht survives.... U make amazing videos... I'm always waiting for ur videos ❤️
@@Vbishnoi229 thank you so much for watching….yes wishing you all the best hope they all grow healthy ☺️
Would keeping them in AC room help..? I know it's a bit extreme but what if it works and we can save them. BTW, I have again lost 75percent of my succulent stash.. Including pups.. 😣
Yes, absolutely it will work provided there is sufficient light either natural or artificial like grow light you can grow indoor with slightly low temperatures also…
how did you lose why
what happen ? 🙁
@@LushGardener Extreme temperatures at around 45degrees. Watering encouraged rot despite using saaf and not watering dried them up. I have some left.. It's a lesson. Will look at other methods to save them. If you can suggest some methods 🙏
@@boltb3706 can you try cinder
Hi Sir LG, I watched this vlog before...i think 4x😂 now Im watching again because plant shop gave ma free Semp. Hens and chicks. I couldn't say No or to choose what are free plants😂 hope I can survived😂
hahaha happens always even here nobody wants it and sellers send it as gift I tell them I don’t want it for free also 😂😂😂
@@LushGardener seriously?😱😵💫 as in no demand of semp H&C succs? I will just give it a try using your care tips but if it didn't survive....its okay 😊 no pressure no problem😁 Thanks Sir LG!😊 have a great day!
I live in uttrakhand. Experiment to plant them in 100% coco peat, my is thriving in it from past 2 year, do tell me the result
Oh here actually cocopeat won’t work during the month of April it gets dry hot and that kills them I tried everything…
It’s more related with climate and temperature…. Will something else actually I can grow but then neeed give lot of attention to it …. Due to lack of that I tot will simply quit
Rest of the year they are all good April they can’t handle many collectors in Bangalore have given up 😓
I just had sempervivum silver star ⭐️ I dont know how this will survive come Summer 2023😢
oh no …next time avoid getting them they won’t do well in hot environment 😔
Does that mean Sir in comparison with other ornamental plants the Succulents are the ones that never survived in the longer period of time compare with syngoniums, agalaonemas etc? Thinking of shifting to that for value of money and time. Kindly enlighten thanks
I love sempervivum but they dont survive summer months
Yes 😕… they are absolutely beautiful but can’t handle the temperature 🤒
I too killed my sempervivum, understood the reason now😔
So sad to hear Tht 😔
Hi😊
hello 🪴☺️
My all succulents behave like thattt... U knowwww🙂🙂🙂😅😅🙂
I know I hope and wish you all the luck mam 😊
Sir,Whr r u from?
Bangalore 😊
@@LushGardener how much temperature goes in Summer season in Bangalore
34c
So its very easy to make succulents survive
yes the environment is very pleasant all year along so not much challenges to grow succulents here 😊💖
U r from which part of India .......
m from Bangalore 😊🪴
@@LushGardener ok....I am from west bengal .....there's so much humidity in the air ....my pulodonis and purpusorum suffered from root rot now I am re rooting them without soil 😥 on the contrary the sempervivums are doing great here .. ....have u posted any vdo on faucaria tigrina ...since I couldn't find in the Playlist...if u hvnt plz make one....really facing a lot of problem dealing with tigrina ...
Thank u sir .....
oh no that’s terrible….please tell me about your soil mix ?
regarding faucaria tigrin I haven’t grown that variety yet ….as it’s a succulent of the subtropical it’s should do well in humidity…don’t expose to hot sun keep it in indirect bright light…soil has to be extremely gritty or sandy and well draining
don’t keep them underwatered for long otherwise the stem will die you need a proper watering schedule
@@LushGardener stone granules , cinder , neem cake , leaf mulch , vermiculite , perlite ...😶
