•  Sempervivum heuffelii ‘Gold Bug’ is a vibrant rosette with a glowing yellow to lime green base and fiery red to orange leaf tips. The contrast gives it a bright, almost illuminated look during the growing season. As temperatures cool, the entire rosette deepens into rich burgundy and wine tones, creating dramatic winter color. The thick, sculpted leaves form a tight, symmetrical rosette with a polished appearance.                                                                                                                                                                 
  This is a strong and steady grower. Instead of producing long stolons, S. heuffelii varieties multiply by division, with the mother rosette gradually forming a dense cluster of new rosettes. These can be carefully cut apart and transplanted or left to form a compact mound. Mature rosettes will bloom after several years, sending up a central flower stalk. Propagation is straightforward through division, making it easy to expand a planting over time.

   Bright Indoor Light, Filtered / Partial Sun.                                                                                                             
  Gritty, well-draining soil is essential. Use a cactus and succulent mix with 70%-80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite.
  
  Water infrequently. Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Avoid letting water sit in the rosette to prevent rot.
