Sempervivum 'Oddity' quick care tips

Watering

Sempervivum 'Oddity' 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

Sempervivum 'Oddity' 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.

Ideal soil

Sempervivum 'Oddity' 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.

Sempervivum 'Oddity'

Sempervivum 'Oddity' produces these oddly shaped green sucker like leaves with burgundy tips. Strangely beautiful but a very easy and rewarding sempervivum to grow.

They are incredibly hardy, surviving temperatures down to -15°C. We find that during the spring they are very hungry plants, and recommend to feed them once every two weeks with a liquid seaweed dilution or simply re pot with a slow-release fertiliser feed mixed into the compost, this will encourage the succulents to produce many new offsets.
