Propagating Hens and Chicks

 To propagate a hens and chicks plant, simply split the offsets (the "chicks") from the parent plant (the "hen"), preserving the roots of each, if possible. Here's how:

  1. Using a small trowel, transplant the offsets into well-drained soil, creating a shallow hole where you can spread out the roots.
  2. Replace the soil to the crown of the plant and gently compact around the roots.
  3. You can give the offset a light watering, but let the new plant dry out between waterings. Plants will spread on their own under ideal conditions.
