FAQ about Houseleek – Pink

What kind of soil suits houseleeks best?
Houseleeks thrive in very well-drained, sandy or gritty soil. Avoid clay or soil that stays wet, as this causes rot. A mix of garden soil, sand and grit works very well, and they also grow on roofs, walls and in containers.
How often should houseleeks be watered?
Houseleeks need very little water and cope with long dry spells. Water only when the soil is completely dry, which in pots may be every week or two in summer. In winter they should be kept almost completely dry.
Do houseleeks need pruning?
Houseleeks need no regular pruning. Each rosette dies after flowering, so remove the dead rosette and flower stalk afterwards and the surrounding offsets will fill the gap. Offsets can also be removed and replanted to propagate the plant.
Which pests and diseases can affect houseleeks?
Houseleeks are very resistant to pests and diseases. The most common problem is rot caused by too much moisture. Vine weevil grubs can sometimes damage the roots of plants in pots.
Are houseleeks hardy?
Yes, houseleeks are fully hardy and stay outdoors all winter without protection. Winter wet is a greater danger than frost, so plants in pots should stand where the rain cannot soak them.
