Sempervivum 'Maya' is a cold hardy succulent from the houseleek family, native to the mountainous regions of Europe. This alpine succulent has adapted to harsh conditions and grows well as a rosette plant for both indoor and outdoor growing.
'Maya' forms tight, symmetrical rosettes with fleshy, pointed leaves that shift color throughout the seasons. The leaves are green at the center and fade to burgundy or reddish tips, with the color deepening in cooler weather. Each rosette grows 2-3 inches across and produces smaller offsets around the mother plant, eventually clustering into attractive colonies over time.
It produces tall flower stalks with star-shaped blooms in pink or red during the summer months. The rosette that flowers completes its lifecycle after blooming, but the abundant offsets ensure the plant continues to grow and spread. The flowers produce pollen that may trigger minor reactions in sensitive individuals.
Move it outside in summer and it handles balcony wind and rain with ease. It tolerates dry heated air indoors and can go up to ten days without water. It survives cold winters down to -20°F and is safe around cats and dogs.
Sempervivum 'Maya' grows well in bright indirect light indoors or full sun outdoors, but scorches in south-facing windows.
Water it deeply but infrequently, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings every 10-14 days.
'Maya' does best in well-draining cactus mix amended with extra perlite or pumice.
It handles temperatures from 20°F to 80°F and withstands frost exceptionally well.
'Maya' grows slowly and rarely needs fertilizer, producing offsets naturally for steady propagation.
It is hardy in USDA zones 4-9 and tolerates frost down to -20°F. It grows outdoors year-round in northern states including Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, and Pennsylvania, as well as throughout most of the Midwest. It also grows well in southern zones across North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, northern Texas, northern California, and parts of Nevada.
Q: How often should I water Sempervivum 'Maya'?
A: Every 10-14 days during the growing season, letting the soil dry completely between waterings. In winter, reduce watering frequency as growth slows.
Q: Is it safe around pets?
A: Sempervivum 'Maya' is non-toxic and safe for cats and dogs, though the flowers produce pollen that may cause minor reactions in sensitive individuals.
Q: Can 'Maya' survive outdoors in winter?
A: It survives temperatures down to -20°F in zones 4-9. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot in cold, wet conditions.
Q: How big does it get?
A: Individual rosettes of 'Maya' reach 2-3 inches across, but mature colonies can spread 6-12 inches wide over several years as offsets cluster together.
Q: Does 'Maya' need special lighting indoors?
A: Rotate it weekly for even growth. Bright indirect light keeps it healthy, while intense south-facing sun can scorch the leaves.
Q: How do I propagate it?
A: Separate the rooted offsets or "chicks" that develop around the mother plant and replant them in well-draining soil.

🌵 For Succulents
When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
