Thank you Rina. I'm very happy that they are healthy and can be grown outside.

I potted them on Friday and yesterday I place them in strong direct afternoon sun on the terrace for about 1 hour and I'm planning to do so for 3-4 more days and then maybe 1.30-2 hours and slowly more later. Does this sound okay? Also when should I water them? It's about 30-34C here.

If they were in full sun prior you getting them, they should be ok to go in full sun. Otherwise, do as you mentioned. Water when potting mix dries out deeper below surface (use a chopstick or bamboo skewer or even pencil, stick deep inside of pot and see if still wet when taken out - if so, no water yet). Under similar temps, I use hose to water mine every 3-4 days, unless it rains.

Newly potted Sempervivum 'Oddity' - in the pot about 3 days, it got a good soak from last nights rain - there is great drainage:

I don't know if they had been in full sun before and I haven't watered them yet. Should I water them now? My aunt had they on a tray with little water for a few hours before she gave them to me.

Your sempervivum is very pretty.

Thank you. If they were in water, there could be enough in leaves. Really difficult to judge. By today, I think they could be watered.

Watered them yesterday but I think one of them is dying because a few leaves started to wrinkle and look like something has been chewing them. Is it rot?

What can I do to help it?

Is there a chance it is like that because the roots still haven't gone in the soil? If it is because of that should I remove the seashells to give them more room?

It looks like sunburn, Vanessa. Where you live, these could live very well in the ground, with only some direct sun, not direct sun all day.

So 1 hour is too much? Ok then I'll think about putting it by a window but I don't think it will be getting direct sun there only maximum five hours indirect sun in the morning.
