The succulent most commonly known Hens & Chicks here in Cali is so easy to grow & propagate. It makes a great houseplant & is a beautiful ground cover in the garden. \r

Something to know: there are a few succulents which carry this common name. The Hens and Chicks that Im referring to here and in the video below is Echeveria x imbricata, the 1 most commonly sold in California. There are a few Sempervivums known as Hens and Chicks which are sold across the country and much more cold hardy that this 1. And, to add to this horticultural head scratcher, theres also a Sedum called Hens and Chicks. My goodness, this is a very common common name!\r

Its so easy to get cuttings of succulents to grow and Hens & Chicks are certainly no exception. The cuttings you see in the video are very pale and elongated (this is called etiolation in the plant world) because I stuck them in my utility room for over 4 months where the winter light was quite subdued. I planted them about a month ago and theyre already greening up.\r
