Solved Plant Identification & care

Hi. I was given a plant a few years ago and to be honest not really looked after it and no idea of the correct name. I potted it in free draing medium and leave it out all summer and inside in greenhouse in winter. It has thrived but not sure how to deal with it.In photos you can see flower stalk s which seem to gone over. Do I cut thse off? How do I propogate this plant as it seems to getting overcroded in pot.When propagating would I use cacti medium.You can see smaller plants hanging over the dge of pot,do I leave these or repot them.Thank you for any advice.

 

It's a sempervivum, commonly called houseleeks or chicks and hens. One of the toughest plants that thrives on neglect.

I remember our nan had them growing on her roof where they thrived with no intervention.

 

I have them on my corrugated shed roof, been there as long as I can remember.

I think there was an old tale about them keeping lightning away.

Doesn't need greenhouse treatment as they are totally hardy.

Just remove a few offsets and pot up separately in gritty compost.

The rosettes that are flowering will die.

 

It's wet cold that does for them, so as long as it's happy with your climate - which it seems to be, it'll be fine. You can easily propagate as described by @pete.

I didn't know the 'myth' about the lightning! I love these old tales and legends though.
