Hi,

Doing a google search on your needs would be your best bet. When I started this hobby I used this forum and google. Since you already know what kind of plant you want to grow that's a good start. There are a ton of information on "chicks and hens" on the internet! Happy searching. Best of luck to you and your new hobby!

here you go!

Hey guys, why don't you recommend searching this forum???

I just typed 'hens |and chicks' in the search box and 309 threads popped up...and typing 'sempervivums' - 557 threads...I am sure there is plenty of good advice here? JMHO...

ps: Bernard, when I clicked on the link you supplied on Sempervivums, google photos came up...no advice (except for general advice on the page - but nothing about specific plants. Maybe I missed something?)

Rina the forum is a great platform, probably why the OP is here posting questions.

My link just provides basic tips and pointers on choosing the types of succulents to grow for beginners, and things to avoid as beginners in general. Not so much directed to the OP question on growing Hens and Chicks (Semps) per se.

The problem with the name Hens and Chicks could mean Echeveria or any other succulent that has a rosette shape. I have seen the tender succulents called Hens and Chicks that cannot be grown outside year round in a cold climate,

I think the question should be if the OP is referring to Semps or tender succulents.
