📌 Note: Coloration may vary depending on the season, sun exposure, and temperature, with some specimens greener and others more intensely colored. As with most sempervivums, the mother rosette blooms only once in its lifetime, then gradually dries out, being replaced by offsets formed at the base. Small imperfections or dried outer leaves are normal and do not affect the plant’s viability. Cold tolerance: very good; the plant overwinters outdoors and regrows annually. In pots, excellent drainage is recommended and avoiding excess water during the cold season.
