When a succulent is left to dry out, or is subjected to too much humidity, it can become mushy. If you're a planner, you might consider drawing out a rough sketch of what you want your garden to look like. Even a clone can look very different under various growth conditions or different times of the year. The common name "Houseleek" refers to the growth of some species on the roofs in Europe, while "Liveforever" derives from the generic name and refers to their hardiness and durability. The common name, "Hen and Chicks", can be shared with plants from other genera like Echeveria.
