Houseleek needs little water
Just water the house root
The different types and varieties of the house root are perfect plants for "Lazy" or for gardeners with little time. The thick-leafed plants thrive on extremely little water and almost never need to be watered. But they are very sensitive to moisture, especially against waterlogging.
Houseleek belongs to the succulents
House wort (Sempervivum)) belong to the thick-leafed plants (Crassulaceae) and thus - like the cacti - to the succulents. This particular genus of plants has adapted optimally to dry locations by storing water in their tissue - in the case of the thick-leafed plants and thus the house-wort just in the leaves. Thanks to this stockpiling, house sausages can be left without water for a long time and rarely need to be watered. Basically, you only need to water the houseleek if the leaves show signs of dryness.
Tips
However, it is important to protect the plants, especially in wet times from constant rain and thus high humidity - they do not tolerate house wasps, in contrast to the drought, not at all.
