I was given this little guy, not sure what kind of plant he is. Anyone know?

Looks like a sempervivum

0개 좋아요Ohh yes I see what you mean, I’ll give that a try!
0개 좋아요The leaves are so strong! You can’t bend them back without breaking them.
0개 좋아요Mine😊 VERY hardy! Do need lots of light though. But will exist on less light. This one has been in my family since my great grandmother! Don’t ask where the rest of it went!😭 A pack rat found it and thought it was a tasty snack. But I saved this one. I will breathe easier when it has its babies!😅 Unfortunately they don’t propagate from leaves like other succulents. I think the statistic is 1 in 100 might make both roots and a pups. I try to propogate every leaf I have to pull off when up potting it and all the good leaves from the destroyed ones. So I should be close to 100 tries soon.😅🤞
좋아요 1개That’s so sweet. Oh no hahaha, at least you saved that one! Wow that’s a low ratio, one of them has to eventually! I just tried what you suggested, and I was as careful as I could be, but I still managed to knock off a few healthy leaves, I’ll try those haha

좋아요 1개That’s so cool, thanks for all the care tips! I’m going to have to get some succulent soil, as of now the poor thing is in regular potting soil
