Aptly named, the Choco Latte Hens and Chicks produces richly colored leaves in shades of red, brown, and cream. Also called Sempervivum Chick Charms® 'Choco-Latte', this succulent is easy to grow and can reach an impressive width of around 1 foot across. This plant is suitable for growing both indoors and outdoors.

Being drought tolerant, the Choco Latte Hens and Chicks will not mind if you miss a watering session here or there. It is incredibly winter hardy and grows in zones 3 through to 8 with little protection needed. Grow it on its own or plant with others, either in a border, rock garden or on your desk.

Choco Latte Hens and Chicks Care

Planting the Choco Latte Hens and Chicks in full sun will keep this sempervivum happy. It requires a free-draining and loose soil, as good drainage will prevent the roots from rotting. Water sparingly and only when the soil is dry. Fertilizing is not generally required. However, you can apply a diluted balanced feed over the growing season if the soil is poor.

Pruning the Choco Latte Hens and Chicks is not needed. Nevertheless, you can remove any faded blooms and damaged leaves to tidy the appearance. Container-grown specimens can be brought indoors to overwinter on a sunny windowsill.

Choco Latte Hens and Chicks Spacing

When fully grown, the Choco Latte Hens and Chicks can reach 2 to 3 inches tall and 12 inches wide. Space plants 12 to 16 inches apart for a well-defined appearance and for enough room to spread.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
