feeding semp.

i currently have a Sempervivum calcoreum, what do i feed it? do all succulents have the same fertilizer regimen?

thanks,

I am no expert on this and have little experience with Semps. However, I usually just repot them and all my other succulents using new soil (cactus mix) once every 1 to 2 years before the growing season. If you are growing them in the ground I can see the problem…

Here are a couple sites that mention fertilizing Semps:

Good luck. One of mine produced a “chick” during the dead of winter! I can’t wait for the growing season.

it just so happens that i repotted them earlier today along with my little cactus with the schultz cactus/succulent mix, i imagine thats all i would need to do. thanks again for your help.
