Sempervivum plants grow well in sandy, rocky soil. It is an adaptable plant that can grow in just about any soil except wet soil. Potted plants should be grown in an organic planting mix that drains well.

Newly planted Purple Beauty plants should be watered deeply about twice per week for the first month or so in the ground. Once they are established they are very drought tolerant and won’t need to be watered unless they are grown in containers.

Fertilizer is not needed for these plants and can, in fact, harm them. Too much nitrogen can make them susceptible to rot and other diseases.
