Soil quality and proper watering are some of the most important aspects of winter care.
Sempervivum soil should always be gritty and well draining, but this becomes extra important in winter. Sempervivum go dormant in the winter and dramatically reduce the amount of water they use. This means that what was an appropriate amount of water in the summer, would be too much in the winter. Therefore, a soil that sheds excess water rapidly is going to help prevent rot.
Additionally, do not water in winter.
