Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my hens and chicks have Overwatering?
Cause: When overwatering progresses to root rot in Hens and Chicks, the root crown becomes compromised by anaerobic bacterial infection. The vascular tissue collapses, preventing water uptake. Sempervivum evolved vegetative reproduction from offsets as a survival mechanism.
Solution: Identify rot line: Squeeze stem—soft below, firm above indicates salvageable crown
Prevention: Use fresh sterile soil for cuttings; never reuse soil from rot-affected plants.
