| Sempervivum at Garden Care, Ulsoor |
One of my weekend trip is to the close by plant nurseries looking for fresh stock of plants, and look for a bargain deal. As a routine, I mostly visit two nurseries in Ulsoor area - Indo American and Garden Care.
In today's trip, I didn't find anything new at Indo American. Next I stopped at Garden Care and I couldn't but admire the healthy looking Sempervivum ( Hen and Chicks).
About Sempervivum
These are evergreen, perennial plants which has spike shaped leaves in rosettes design. In a matured plants you an see new baby plants around the mother plant.
The matured plant flowers and after which the mother plant dies, while the remaining chicks continue to grow following its cycle.
Watering and Care of Sempervivum
This is an excellent plant in an open terrarium. Avoid over watering as it can lead to lead to rot. One way to identify this plant is the way new sprout appears. It's also called "Hen and Chicks" as the mother plant produces multiple small plants around it Chicks.
