Chick Charms Giants Hens & Chicks

While they are often sold as houseplants, Chick Charms are extremely hardy and thrive best outdoors in full sun. If you keep them indoors, ensure they are placed in a very bright, south-facing window to prevent them from stretching or losing their vibrant color.

As the name suggests, this variety produces significantly larger rosettes than standard Hens and Chicks. You can expect the main rosette to grow several inches across, with smaller 'chicks' clustering around the base to fill out the container.

Like most succulents, these prefer a 'soak and dry' method. Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry to the touch, and ensure your container has excellent drainage to prevent root rot.

The foliage color is influenced by sun exposure and temperature. You will see the most intense gold and red-orange tones when the plant receives plenty of direct sunlight, especially during cooler months.

These succulents are low-maintenance and do not require heavy feeding. A light application of a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half-strength once or twice during the active growing season in spring is sufficient.
