Hen and Chick | Succulent Saturday

Who else is so happy about this warmer weather and sunshine lately? I know our succulents are! Today we are talking about a succulent that LOVES sun! Hen and Chicks are super fun because they make babies, aka: chicks, that you can propagate and grow! Read on to learn how to care for them and don’t forget to check out the video as well.

Light: Bright light. Indoors in a sunny window or outdoors in partial or full sun.

Water: Let this plant dry out before watering again. Ideally every weeks or so. They are very drought tolerant and prefer ti be dry. Cut back to watering every other week in the winter.

Temperatures: These plants can grow indoors and prefer 65-75 degrees but they are very hardy plants that can survive in cooler and warmer temperatures.

Fertilizer: Feed your Hen and Chick every month in the spring and summer and do not fertilize in the winter.

Repotting: Repot your hen and chick whenever it is too large for its container. You can remove the “chicks” and repot them as well.

Toxicity: This plant is not toxic to humans or pets but it is certainly not advised to eat them.
