Sempervivum 'Green Ice' quick care tips
Watering
Watering
Sempervivum 'Green Ice' is a drought-tolerant succulent variety, so watering around once per week in the peak growing season is advised. Ensure the soil dries between waterings following the 3 Ds: drench, drain and dry. It is also advised to completely stop watering when conditions are frosty, keeping the plant dry for several months at a time over winter.
Feeding
Feeding
Sempervivum 'Green Ice' likes to be fed to bring out its best forms and colours. We recommend feeding with a liquid seaweed feed every 2 weeks in the main growing season from April to September. A feed we recommend is the one from our friends at LittleGreenSeaweed.
Ideal soil
Ideal soil
Sempervivum 'Green Ice' needs free draining soil to thrive. We recommend a mixture of 1/3 John Innes no.2, 1/3 perlite and 1/3 coconut coir. The soil mix we offer here is similar in composition to this.

Easy to grow, hairy succulent with a frosty-green colouring. Like most Sempervivum, this is hardy to -15°C with added protection from sun due to its small hairs. Offsets readily.
Looks great in a Sempervivum bed.
