I have a Hens & Chicks plant in a pot and it is doing really good outside. Do I take it inside for Winter?

Answer 1

You can actually do either but if you bring it inside put it in an Easterns or Southern window and don't water it too much. Good Luck

Answer 2

I live in Texas (Southwest) and have a large bed of hen and chicks planted directly in my outdoor flowerbed. If the forecast is 32 degrees or lower, I cover the entire bed with winter freeze cloth. I haven't lost a plant yet.

Answer 3

My Hen & Chicks make it through the winter here in Utah. If you think yours won't make it I would advise you to bring the pot in, wash everything off and put it in a bright window and don't water it much.

Answer 4

I have one and leave it outside all year round and have never had any problems with it. But, I also live in the Pacific NW and rarely do we have more than a couple of days in the winter where the temperature does not at least reach freezing.

Answer 5

That would depend on where you live, it doesn't go below freezing here for more than a few weeks and my plants do just fine outside, in fact they grow like crazy all summer long.
They have been outside for 3 years now and no problems.

Answer 6

They do not have be taken in for the winter. I live in the northern part of the Mid-east and these things have survived some pretty fierce winters.

Answer 7

it truly is contained in the Succulent kin as Cacti are. In doors they choose good effortless, potted in a properly drained soil and month-to-month fertilizing in the course of the starting to be season. Out doors in maximum any section on condition that you aren't any more in a freezing zone.

Answer 8

Cold maine here I leave mine out all winter I put them up against the house and cover them up with leaves. they always do fine.
