In the summer these pretty plants can also produce colouful bell shaped flowers. Home care: Needs very little care, except that the leaves are so need to be handled with care. Water sparingly when required avoiding the actual rosette of leaves, and keep in an even warm enviroment. As an added bonus, this plant often produces small baby plants or ‘chicks’, hence the common name ‘hen and ‘chicks’ at the base of the main rosette of leaves.
