That's amazing. I want to try some now lol

I love these ... I have some growing in the garden, though never tried from seed.

You have lots of different interesting houseleeks there.
I'm adding to GoYpedia :o)

Thanks Paul...
Thanks Pixi, yes love growing from seed :-)
Thanks Ladybug, the seed was from Thompson & Morgan they are really easy to grow good luck...
Thanks Hywel Lol hope you do try :-)
Thanks Terra i was amazed at how many different types there was :-)

I love them Surreylad and would like to have a go from seed. Did you start them off in pots?

I started them off in a plastic tray just the cheap ones from a pound shop Annella, then seed compost and water only when the compost is getting dry, but don't move them till they are big enough to form a little rosette, good luck :-)

Thanks

They are so pretty...:)

I would like to try some also

I have a few and love them.

Thanks Michaella :-)
They really are easy to grow Yorkshire..
They are lovely little plants arn't they Drc...

Yes and so undemanding

very true :-)

they look like a miniature landscape to me, very interesting little things, might have a go with them one day

they really are easy Sticki, plant and leave.... that simple:-))

Sounds like a very good plant!

it's a gap filler in a rockery or side of a wall or anywhere most others wont like to much... as long as it's not to damp...

Could be useful for the stone wall we have?

sounds like a perfect place for them Sticki....

and would make it nice and green looking!!
you know those little succulent/cacti that look like stones, do they like the same conditions as sempervivums? wondered if they would look good together in a shallow alpine type tray???

if you mean the Lithops, living stones they need to be frost free in a conservatory or similar...

Oh ok, thanks.

your welcome, but there are several other types of hardy crevice plants even sedums or saxafraga's....

ok, will have a look, thank you

:-))
