The plants grow close to the ground with leaves formed around each other in a rosette, and propagating by offsets. The "hen" is the main, or mother, plant, and the "chicks" are a flock of offspring, [1] which start as tiny buds on the main plant and soon sprout their own roots, taking up residence close to the mother plant.
Sempervivum (/ s ɛ m p ə ˈ v aɪ v əm / [1] [2]) is a genus of about 40 species of flowering plants in the family Crassulaceae, commonly known as houseleeks.Other common names include liveforever (the source of the taxonomical designation Sempervivum, literally "always/forever alive") and hen and chicks, a name shared with plants of other genera as well.
Fertilizers are essential during spring and summer when plants are actively growing and flowering, but they may be needed at other times of the year depending on the plant.
Spruce needles are high in calcium and their increase in use by females in Spring may be related to egg production [24] In summer the birds can forage on the ground, eating berries, green plants such as blueberry leaves, fungi, and some insects. [24]

Whether the spring equinox finds you getting this year's garden underway, washing windows or simply basking in the warm weather, you may be in search of a spring quote or two to seize the moment.
About 10–15% of flowering plants are predominantly self-fertilizing. [9] Self-pollination is an example of autogamy that occurs in flowering plants. Self-pollination occurs when the sperm in the pollen from the stamen of a plant goes to the carpels of that same plant and fertilizes the egg cell present.
Plants adapted to self-fertilize often have similar stamen and carpel lengths. Plants that can pollinate themselves and produce viable offspring are called self-fertile. Plants that cannot fertilize themselves are called self-sterile, a condition which mandates cross-pollination for the production of offspring.
