Learn the differences between various "hens and chicks" and why they matter
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 21. 04. 2021
- The common name "Hens and Chicks" refers to two types of succulents that are verrrrrry different from each other. That's why using common names can often lead to trouble.
On the other hand, just knowing the genus of your succulent will help give you crucial insights as to how to care for it.

Thank you so much for this video! I love how you pointed out the specific details with the zoomed pix. Also, I appreciate how you do not rush through the explanations and go slowly so we as viewers have time to process and see what you are teaching us. đ
Thank you for the helpful feedback! Glad to hear that everything was easy to follow and seeing the pictures up close was useful.
Iâve had an outdoor planter of sempervivums for about 10 years now. I was gifted 3 plants which turned into a hundred, until deer ate most of them this past winter. I bought a new planter and recovered âthe leftoversâ from that meal. I just thought they were odd plants, one of a kind until I found you and your videos! Iâm so happy I got hooked on succulents and your videos
I am always blown away by your ability to name the different succulent species! I love watching your videos and learning something new. Iâm going to have to add some sempervivum to my gardens here in zone 5!
Thank you!! Glad they are teaching you new things đ
I am so happy that you did this video. I live in Wisconsin and I knew there was hens and chicks that could be outside during our winters I just didn't know what kind they were. Now that I know I will know which ones I can leave outside. Thank you so much!!
Before you leave your babies outside, please check your growing zone. Most of the sempervivums on Mountain Crest website are rated only down to zone 5. If you are colder than that, you should consider protecting them somehow from the bitter cold.
Such a great video! I never could figure out the difference between sempervivums and echeverias - and now I know!
My mother in law passed in 1999. She had sempervivums. Still going strong. We live in PA. Thanks for helping us figure them out and the blooming part.
I love it when you clarify the crazy world of succulents!
Thank you so much for this!!! I just purchased a beautiful hive of hens and chickens (sempervivums) and i was so clueless! This helped a ton, especially since theyve began popping off little babies. I can now confidently give them away as little gifts. Youre wonderful!! Keep up the great work
You are so pleasant to watch, even with all the info you give, your pace is very good. Thanks for the info!
Thank you for the feedback, it is greatly appreciated! Glad the info has been helpful đ
Mine are just coming back from our idaho winter and they're so pretty.
I like the sepervivums. I'm just getting into succulents and learning how to redo my garden so I can plant these beauties and have them thrive :)
Thank you for this information. My grandmother always had hens and chicks in her yard and I try to do the same. Now I know why some are beautiful but do not come back every year!
You are very welcome!
Cassidy is my Go-To educator AND I share her videos with my succulent friends. Thank you for a lesson well researched and presented. As a retired teacher, I can appreciate the preparation she has done, and the structure of her lessons, which makes it SO much more informative and accessible.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback! Glad the videos have been helpful for you đ

Thank you for doing these videos. I considered myself one of those people who were able to kill a succulent but watching your videos has helped me keep and maintain the ones that I still have.
That is awesome! Glad you have been able to keep them alive đ
Thank you for your very clear explanation
Cheers from Melbourne Australia đŠđŠđŠđŠđŠ
You are very welcome!
This video was very helpful . It will give me a better way to look at succulents before making a purchase
This was my most helpful video. I had no idea there were two types!! Thank you for all of your very helpful information!
You are very welcome! Glad the videos have been helpful
This is so good to know. I had some beautiful succulents that were left by the previous owner of our house. I live in San Antonio, Texas and these succulents did very well for years. During our freeze in February I lost them all. Now I want to buy succulents that will survive a freeze if we have one again.
That freeze killed everyone's babies outside. My condolences. Mine died too.
So sorry to hear about losing succulents during the freeze
Wow, thank you for the info. I actually am waiting for my first delivery from Mountain Crest today. I have hens and chicks also
They are outside year round in my rocks no less.
Very exciting!
Thank you for this awesome educational video on hens and chicks. I was doing the research for a cozy mystery I'm writing and you answered all my questions.
Oooh, I'm intrigued! How do succulents play into your story?
@@Succulentsandsunshine Unfortunately not a terribly exciting way, but the female sleuth is working in her rock garden on hill and it's described with these plants. However, a mystery series involving plants sounds like an awesome idea!!
That's fun! I agree a plant mystery would be interesting đ„°
Excellent presentation and helpful because I just bought some hens and chicks at the grocery store. Thanks for your expertise!
Your videos have really helped me learn the different succulent types. Thank you!!
So glad they have been helpful!
As a Collector of Succulents I'm very appreciative of this information so I choose correctly at the Garden Center.
Sincerely Yours đ€ Mr Severance,

I am a lot of sempervivums more so because they're so easy to care for. I know so little about them. I enjoyed the video it taught me some things about them
I discovered cold hardy succulents from your blog... I live in Utah (zone 5) and didnât know there were so many varieties that could survive a winter here! Iâm now building a beautiful outdoor rock garden with lots of different varieties!
Very exciting! Best of luck with your garden đ
Thank you for that information. I had no idea how to tell them apart.. . . . until now!!!
Glad it helped!
I have learned the proper way to care for my small succulent collection by watching your videos. You taught me how to propagate successfully! I have learned to recognize many succulents after watching your videos. A friend received a flower arrangement with a beheaded Perle von Nurnberg attached to it. She was about to throw it away with the dead flowers. I "rescued" it & potted it with gritty mix from Bonsai Jack. I am happy to report it is thriving. I also identified a neighbors sedum "stonecrop" in her flower bed, as she had no idea what it was. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you so much for sharing this! It's great to hear that the videos have really helped you learn more and that your succulents are thriving!
I love your videos...so informative. I am in Scottsdale so we are kindred spirits with all of the succulents. Thanks!,
That's awesome! Have you found any succulents that work well for you outdoors?
My side-yard is basically a brick oven in the summer... so it's been an adventure :)
Great video with detailing the difference between Echevaria and Sempervivum. Looking forward to the next videos.
Thank you!
This is a great video - all of your videos have been great over the last week. Your guidance over CZcams has been so important to me in my succulent-parenting journey! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome! Glad the videos have been helpful
Interesting, thanks! Guess I should stop fondling my echeverias so their wax doesn't keep coming off đ
Sometimes itâs hard not to especially when you are reporting lol
Haha fondling your succulents
Wow! I am so amazed. I still not sure I could tell when I buy succulents that arenât labeled but at least I hopefully will be able to. Thank you!
Very informative! Now I know why some ot my hens and chicks make it through the winter and some don't! Thank you.
I learned years ago that there were different types of HENS AND CHICKS by planting the wrong ones the first year. Now I know the real diffarenc. i am learning a lot from your emails. you are a good teacher, thanks
Glad to hear the information has been helpful! Thank you that is very kindđ
Thanks for such a thorough explanation that was also easy to understand. I will be checking all of my plants to know how to better take care of them.
You are very welcome! Glad it was easy to follow
You are a wonderful teacher, Cassidy, so concise and clear! Thank you!
This really helped. I have both plants and have been trying to figure out the different. Thank you.
This is all new to me and I have been amazed at what I have learned since purchasing the ID Card package! Thank you for the information on the "hens and chicks". I never knew that these were succulents.
This is a great video for this newbie succulent grower!!!
I love Hens & Chicks, they are my favorite succulent.
Thanks for all the information you give us newbies
Hen and chicks are one of my favorite succulents.
Thanks for showing us the differences in them. Love your videos
That clarification was awesome! I finally get it now, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great video as usual, did not know there were different hens and chicks, will be checking mine tomorrow to see which one it is, thanks
You are very sweet! Thanks so much for the info. Happy Earth Day!
Thank you! Glad the info has been helpful
Thanks for making telling my 'what the heck is its' apart! Love your videos and emails
Side bar: The color of the wall behind you is FABULOUS!
Thank you! I'm a little biased đ but I love it too đđđ
I am a new succulent mom, maybe about 6 months, this is very helpful! Iâm just in awe with the world of succulents!
Thank you for sharing. I was not aware of the difference, learning something new all the time.
You're very welcome! We're glad that you found the video helpful!
Thank you for this very descriptive video. I have thought about getting some of both, but now I know that the Echeveria is the type for me as I also reside in Phoenix.
My husband and I just bought our first house, we live in Indiana and the back porch is surrounded by sempervivums! It is so pretty!
That's so exciting!
Thank you SO VERY MUCH for your clear explanation of the difference between the twoâ€!! I have both types in my small rock garden. I live in North Carolina and surprisingly enough I guess we haven't had any winters cold enough to harm my Echeveria in the past few years. I am redoing my rock garden because it's overcrowded (which must be the reason they kept each other warm enough to survive). Sixty three yrs. young and still learning,lol.
You're very welcome! We're so glad you found it helpful!
Excellent video. I like that you were not just "going off the cuff" and repeating and rambling! Excellent information and visuals also.
Thank you!
Was wondering how to tell the difference. Thanks for the info.
Love your videos. Always educational. So happy to hear we can have succulents outside all year in Michigan. Canât wait to shop for some sempervivums!
Fascinating! I learn something new with every video!
This is so helpful. What succulents can be grown outdoors in my zone (6b/7a) is something I am yet learning
Wow!! You are amazing and so clear in the way you explain!! Thank you, I am a novice who is looking for guidance
So glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the clear I formation on the differences, it is fantastic and fascinating!
You are very welcome!
I have many sempervivums from MCG but didn't know about the difference in leaves. Great tip!!
WOW, I am so happy I came across your You Tube. Your Videos are so informative and you speak in terms that I can understand since I am fairly new to Succulents. I am looking forward to watching all of your Videos and sharing with my succulent friends.
So glad you have enjoyed the videos!
I'm a beginner at growing succulents. You are helping me identify the different succulents and how to grow them I appreciate these videos so much thank you
You are very welcome! Glad they have been helpful for you
Thank you for helping me figure out which are which!
Very well done video. Easy to follow. Thank you
Great to know how to identify the differences. Sempervivums grow wild in Alaska.
That is so fun! What a beautiful succulent to have around in the wild đ
You, my dear, are a ray of sunshine! I am fairly new to the succulent world and have not had any success with propagating. I now have the knowledge you shared to try again! Thank you so much for your videos. And, for sharing your wisdom! đ”
That is very sweet of you! So glad the videos have been helpful đ
I love your videos I always learn something new and very helpful in growing my succulents.
Thank you! Glad they have been helpful
Thank you so much for teaching us all! You are not only a succulent expert, but a wonderful teacher as well.
You are very welcome! That is very kind of youđ
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! My daughter and I are getting into succulent gardening. I have had hens & chicks outside (zone 5) for years. Now i have a whole collection of succulent arrangements inside. She received a 2" hen & chicks labeled pot and I couldn't tell her whether it needed to go out or stay in. NOW I can. I have ordered from Mt. Crest and they were well packed and healthy.
You are very welcome! Glad its all been going well đ
Thoroughly enjoyed the video. I have been trying to figure out the differences. So far, my favorite of these two options, is the echevaria
So glad it was helpful for you!
I'm in Boise, ID and I'm so going to plant sempervivums outside in my garden!
Very exciting!
Your videos are very insightful. Thank you.
Thanks for a clear explanation! In answer to you question about favorites: sempervivum for their outdoor durability in zone 8a.
Super helpful detailed information. I prefer sempervivums because these succulents are low maintenance outdoors.
Thanks for the info! Just got some sempers and now am certain I can plant them outdoors. I like them both!
Never could tell the difference. Thank you for explaining!
Thank you SO much!! Because I am new to succulents.
I love these! Some of my neighbors and family have these just growing outside in their yards and they handle the cold like a champ! And they're just super cool!!
Echeveria!! Thank you for the very helpful video!!
Thank you so much for the very useful information. I learned so much for both types that it should help me take care of them better.
You are most welcome!
Very helpful!! Like them both equally.
This is such a great video, thank you. I have some of both of these kinds of succulents. I didn't realize the mother dies though, that's sad.
I just inherited some sempervivums and canât wait to see how they grow in my new planter box. Thank you so much!
Very exciting! You are welcomeđ
This is so informative!! Thank you!!! I like both but Echeveria's are my favorite.
I now have a new appreciation for sempervivum. I always thought that weren't that interesting but I might give them a closer look at my local nursary
So helpful, so clear. I've just started enjoying succulents and learning so much from Succulents and Sunshine. Thank you from New Zealand!
You are very welcome! Glad the info was helpful and clear to understand đ
Great Video Cassidy
Great information! I always learn something new! Thank you!
Great job of explaining the difference between these two groups!
This was a very interesting and informative video. I like both types and now know the difference. Thank You!
Thanks for the feedback! Glad it was helpful
Thank you for this knowledge...I'm a newbie to succulents đ
Knew they were different, but didn't know how. Thanks for the concise descriptions.
You are very welcome!
Thankful for this! I jist was gifted some and never knew there was a difference!
What a great gift to receive! Glad the info was helpful
So much knowledge about so many plants! Easy to understand the difference now that I know what to look for!! Love these lessons!
Glad the lessons have been helpful!
Great video! I love my echeverias and now feel confident in my ability to tell them apart from other hens and chicks in the garden. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with a wonderful smile!
So glad it was helpful for you!
Thank you for the helpful info! Happy earth week đ
You are very welcome! Happy earth week to youđ
Last year, when I just started collecting succulents my mother-in-law told me that echeverias are also hens and chicks. I was very confused when she said that. If I have to choose I will choose probably Sempervivum because I can neglect them outside and since I live in zone 6 the sempervivum will likely survive. I mean who doesn't like plants that are less maintenance right?
Iâve learned so much from you and I canât wait to grab a copy of your ebooks!
this was super helpful, I am new to succulents and find all your videos a great resource! thank you
You are most welcome! Glad the videos have been helpful for you
đđœđđœđđœđđœI appreciate you Thanks for the information Just purchased a set of charm đŁ chicks.
Great video. Your videos are super helpful! Thanks for doing them!
Thanks, this was exactly the video I needed to help me identify what I now know is a Sempervivum!
You're so welcome!!
Very informative video, and I learned alot. Thanks for posting it. Now I know that I will have to drag indoors a very large pot with sempervivums planted in it.
Sempervivims can stay out in the winter (unless you're in a zone 4 or lower), but Echeveria need to be brought in.
