Just be patient:). I've noticed some produce tones of offsets, and then others like to get real big before the give you babies. It'll happen. Plus it will be much happier outside:).

Kara I think they are beautiful! Slugs or not :P The mother of this one had maybe 3 or so babies (two tiny) in the pot when I got her, but this one was the biggest and the only one that survived my lack of knowledge haha!

Took me a long time to understand Sempervivums. The two biggest lessons. They hate all day sun, and like a little more water then my other succulents. Oh ya one more thing meallybugs love them;)!

Great to know! Thanks for all the wonderful advice as always!

Kara

They may hate all day sun in your location - but like it in my :) For semps, being alpine plants, good air circulation is also important, as much as good drainage - looks like your set up is excellent with all those rocks. Maybe reason for mealybugs is also heat??? - I grow them for many years (outdoors only) and never had mealy bugs on them.

They definitely hate my Cali sun!

I definitely think meallies like the heat, but I never get scale. Knock on wood:). I think it may be to dry and hot for scale. Aphids I only get on my roses or Echeveria blooms. I would rather have aphids then meallies any day. I probably shouldn't say that. Before you know it I will have aphids on everything.
