Johannian's blog: Sempervivum Gravel Cheat

Posted on Jun 3, 2020 9:49 PM

Just wanted to share something with you guys...

When I got my first sempervivums, I could not get any gravel mixture for my sempervivums' leaves not to rot, because stores were closed due to COVID-19. And I was really worrying because @valleylynn told me that they needed a certain type of gravel mixture beneath them in order for the leaves not to rot (which I know I already stated, just stating it again because Lynn told me that it was ABSOLUTELY necessary to have)

So I wandered around my yard thinking what to do. Then, I came across some gardening perlite, and had a great idea!

Why not just substitute perlite for the gravel mixture until I can get to the local gardening center? That is exactly what I did, and it really works!

So if any of you don't have the gravel mixture for your semps immediately, then I highly recommend to just use your gardening perlite!

That is, if you have gardening perlite, because if you don't, well, let's face it: you and your semps are completely and utterly doomed.
