    I just started with my first greenwheel a few weeks ago and there are already multiple babies on each of the six plants.
    There is a lot about how resilient these are, but it's really helpful seeing just how delicate you have to be during planting.
    Great video. Very helpful and direct.

      old gutters should work fine , and it will be cool looking as well.. cut to size you want and add ends and off you go.. good luck..

    i planted my hen and chicks and they stay out side in the winter with snow uncovered and when spring gets here the hen and chicks look great !! they grow so fast i separate them and give them to my neighbors .. they multiply so fast sometimes it is hard to keep up with them. they are uncovered in the summer and also put in the shade if it is too hot.
    mine multiply no matter how they are. they are very hearty plants in any kind of weather.. every summer i give away at least 13 re- potted plants and they all survive.. i always check them at least once from the people i gave them to . they all grow great with no problem. i haven't lost one yet . even to the people i give them to.. i show them how to separate and re - pot and they give them to family members .. so every one is happy with these beautiful plants..

    Hello Diane, thank you for this great video! I have a cobweb hen and chicks that has some babies growing and spilling out of the pot like tentacles. I was wondering, can I transfer those to a new pot? Some of them have a small fully formed baby at the top, but others look like roots with some succulent leaves attached along the stem. I know some cobwebs can produce flowers, so should I leave the tentacle looking ones alone? Thank you!

    I have recently started to bonsai, and everyone I have researched online talks about how you need this for your soil or you need that for your soil, but really, all you need is good drainage and aeration. long story short, the soil you're using is pretty much what I settled on, with the addition of either lava rock or pumice. thanks for the information!

Or a bed pan, old tool box, hypertufa planters are great for these, kids old wheel barrow, old boots or purse, as you can see I have used a lot of different things cause they keep on making sooo many babies, lol.

    they are also called house leeks, and an old name for them is storm crop for their ability to protect roofs, the roots hold the roof together and the top of the plant change the charge/ionization warding off lightning strikes or so it says.

    I bought some of these in several varieties this spring. Due to circumstances, I didn't get them outside yet this summer. Do you think if I put them outside in the fall they would winter over ok?? I guess I would have to harden them off somehow since they've been inside since April. I love the top dressing of the pea gravel. That's pretty!

    Hi Diane I've truly enjoyed your video. I'm new at succulents. Just started in May. I live in Mesa, Az., central Az. Zone 9-b-5. When I first began planting they all did great. Then come July I had several die on me. I too have found they do better with less water and amending my cactus mix with pumice. I have a small cluster of hens and chicks and one larger. Now with Fall being here they are doing so great! I also hung some lattice to create some dappled light. I have yet to acclimate any as I'm afraid they'll fry. Are you familiar with growing succulents in Az.? I see so many beautiful species from Cali people. I'm so envious. But I'm embracing what will survive here for me. The element of surprise is so exciting. Not knowing what they'll do, how they'll grow, if they flower, etc. I am in love with them! I've kept them all under our covered patio. They do get bright shade. What are your recommendations on acclimating some as to achieve the reddish tones I so crave? Sorry this is so long. Thanks again Diane!

    Love your videos. Love your accent too . Do you find that a deep container mimics keeping them in ground ? I’ve had good luck with some in ground this year . I’ve read that the drainage is better in ground because the water drains down so deep . Wouldn’t a deep pot mimic that ? I’ve had many rot and many fry this year too . We had rain and high heat simultaneously for a month . They all looked frightful , whether on pots or the ground . Mine would rot if I used the same spin you used cuz it’s humid here . Is it humid there ? Just curious. This video was so relaxing. Thank you 😊

  • @dianemummvideos

    they can handle some moisture, but the biggest key is drainage they must have the ability to dry out fast and not sit in wet soil.. to be safe, save a few , pot them and put in a sunny window or if left in a pot they can be moved to a drier spot if necessary... always good to have a backup plan..:)

Have to get me some, I've recently fell in love with hen and chicks and bought 2 which i love!. Please keep on doing videos on care of succulents, you are a great speaker and seem like you know what your doing. I've been trying to find a school to go to for my master gardeners licence and to become a horticulturist. I absolutely love growing any kind of plants! Makes me happy! I do have a question, I live in florida and my hens and chicks just got repotted in my own, cactus soil, coconut coir and perlite mix. I seperated and replanted them and now the leaves seem to be drying up and dehydrated/soft looking not plump, does wrinkling on the leaves mean underwatered ? I live in florida so I'm afraid to overwater. They are inside under a full spectrum grow light.

      Hey Alex! If your into succulents then you would love the plant known as "Christ In A Manger" Its a beautiful inside/outside plant (during summers, or in tropical climates is when you would want to put outside in indirect sunlight. Bring in when it gets cold/below 40 degrees.). It took me forever to find the name of it but its an heirloom my grandmother gave to me a little while back. It gets BIG BIG BIG and bushy! If given the proper care. Mine is in a 14 inch pot with two big ones and a starting in it that came from the roots. I wont let it get biger than five to six feet tall but you can teach it how to climb (supposidly) It flowers in winter, blooms get about 12 inches in diamater and it is very fragrant (Smells like heaven lol). If you look it up online and like how it looks and want one then let me know and I will propogate you a few cuttings from it and send it to ya. Just make sure you like it and are in the right zones for it which is 4 to 7 and 12 to 14. :)

  • @dianemummvideos
    @dianemummvideos  12 років тому +3

    if they are rooted well in the pots , yes give them an adjustment period cause it will probably burn them.. as long as they are winter hardy in your area, fall is a great time to plant.. the pea gravel is great and also I usually place colored rocks too but for some reason just didnt on these but really looks more natural that way..:)

      I am growing in pots. I could bring them in no problem, but wasn't sure how they would do inside. I have about four big pots now. Love them! And thank you!

    Hey Diane! I did this plant this spring in a strawberry pot. I love it! So for the winter your telling me it will live? I'm a Michigander. Should I store it in the barn or my sun porch?
    Thanks ... your videos are very helpful for me:0)

    Hello. After watching this video awhile back, I did exactly this to mine. Unfortunately, all but one rotted. (I think maybe my soil wasn’t draining fast enough).
    Anyway, I repotted the one that survived & it’s doing very well now. It actually just sprouted 5 long stem things all around the sides. I don’t know if these are going to be flowers, or if they are the actual “chicks”. (I assumed the chicks would grow right up against the momma plant).
    It’s currently in a pot a little bigger than the main plant with the stems hanging over the sides. I don’t know if these stem things are looking for a place to root, or just gonna be purdy flowers & then die away.
    My question for you is, should I transfer it to a bigger pot? Any advice is much appreciated. 😊

    How often do you need to water the sempervivum after replanting them? Thanks for the video, it helped me propagate one that I had gotten!

    Hi! I planted my first succulent garden about a month ago. I have all varieties, one that (after researching) I have determined is a hen&chick. It is 6in wide, and has now shot off 2 stems (one about 9in!) and is flowering. This means it is going to die already, is that correct? My biggest concern is that it hasn't shot off chicks.. Is this common? Maybe it is not really a hen&chick? Don't know if I should cut the flower stems off or how to save my garden, this plant was the centerpiece!

    I'm so pleased that I watched your video. Thank you so much. I had ordered many of these and they've all died but one. I need to change the soil and need the pea gravel as well. I'll do much better next time because now that I've watched your video. One thing though, I know that they love dryness....will they be okay outdoors during our rainy season in Florida?

      you can try it.. I mean it depends on a lot of factors.. cold and dryness.. they do benefit from some moisture right before a good freeze.. all you can do is test for yourself.. good luck

      or how large is the gravel? smaller the better

    I was told if you plant hen & Chicks succulents in your Garden they will take over the garden. Also bought two smaller plants one has a lot of babies and the other not to many. How many would I plant in an pot & will they do better each plant individually in pots!

    Hi Diane, one of my Hen and chick plants has flowered. I know it will die, is it just the flowering part that will die or the entire plant. Will it come back next year? I know it’s a perennial, but after flowering ...Will there be life again?

    I would maybe once a week, once the roots are settle in, they can survive without for a while, but I have also had good luck lightly watering every day especially in the heat of summer.. will depend on your weather, temp, etc..

    I recently bought a hens and chick plant, I have transplanted some of them, however I have now learned that the ones I planted outside don't get any sun, so I will have to move them. My question is some of the long shoots have died (from the main plant) as well as one small chick. It is a pot with the side openings. Why would some of the chicks die? I think I am over watering too...Thanks for the video, it was helpful. (I am a newbie at plant growing)

    • @dianemummvideos
      @dianemummvideos  4 роки тому

      possibly the dark one with soft leaves is rotting, too much water perhaps.. don't really know without seeing .. but I know mine get soft when they get too much water on top of them and the water sets to long..
