webesemps said:There's chance for either...I have lopped and then gotten a second flower stalk but more times than not, I've gotten offsets. So it's hopeful and since you lopped two, maybe one will have offsets? Do not know whether certain cultivars have a tendency towards one more than the other in outcome.

I was reading an article about Howard Wills who owns Fernwood Nursery in UK and according to artcle:
"He (Howard Wills) noted that to encourage even more offshoots you may remove the monocarpic flowers, which usually appear in the second or third year of a plant’s life." Now, Howard has years and years of growing sempervivum experience...


I don't know a whole lot about the different cultivars. I'm a newbie to these semps and just figuring things out with each passing day. Smiling
