Why You’ll Love It:

-
Color Explosion: With its stunning shades of orange, red, and gold, the Laxmi Kamal Orange is like a little firework in your home. The rosettes start off as a soft green but gradually take on those vibrant autumn hues, making it a living piece of art.
-
Hardy and Resilient: Like all Sempervivum, this plant is incredibly tough. It thrives in poor soil and can withstand drought and even frost. Perfect for anyone who might not have the time for constant plant care.
-
Compact and Versatile: This little succulent packs a big punch in terms of style but doesn't take up much space. Whether you have a small apartment or a sunny windowsill, the Laxmi Kamal Orange fits right in. It’s also fantastic for creating little succulent gardens or adding texture and color to your home décor.
Care Tips:
-
Light: The Laxmi Kamal Orange adores sunlight. Place it in a spot where it can soak up a few hours of bright, indirect light each day. A windowsill with plenty of sunshine is the ideal spot to let it flourish.
-
Watering: As a hardy succulent, the Laxmi Kamal Orange is a bit of a diva when it comes to water—less is more! Let the soil dry out completely before watering, and in winter, scale back the watering schedule even more as it enters a dormant phase.
-
Soil: Well-draining soil is key. A cactus or succulent mix works perfectly, or you can add a bit of sand or perlite to your regular potting soil to ensure it doesn’t hold too much moisture.
-
Temperature: This plant is frost-tolerant, but it thrives best in temperatures between 60°F (15°C) and (29°C). Protect it from the cold during the winter months if you’re growing it outdoors.
-
Container: Opt for a pot with good drainage, as Sempervivum hates sitting in water. A shallow pot is great, and this plant also makes an excellent addition to hanging baskets or decorative planters.
