Oregon Succulents
Like the Agave in the post below, Sempervivums also bloom once and die, having propagated with many babies around the mother plant usually long before the dreaded bloom spike comes.
Kym Pokorny with The Oregonian has decided to try to save her Sempervivums from an untimely bloom and death cycle by chopping off the blooms. Somehow I don’t think this is going to work, but good luck, Kym!
