You’ll find out a lot about Hens & Chicks, including caring for them as houseplants, in this video above.
It’s so easy to get cuttings of succulents to grow and Hens And Chicks are certainly no exception. Watch this video below to see how to take and plant succulent cuttings. The cuttings you see in the video are very pale and elongated (this is called etiolation in the plant world) because I stuck them in my utility room for over 4 months where the winter light was quite subdued. I planted them about a month ago and they’re already greening up.

I took this cutting well over a year ago from the same plant pictured above. The color is slightly different because the mother plant is growing in full sun & this 1 grows in shade.
