Sunlight is crucial for bringing out the best colors in your Hens & Chicks succulents. When grown in full shade or indoors away from a sunny window, the rosettes may fade to a plain green.

Other factors influencing coloration include soil fertility, pH levels, moisture content, soil structure, and the plant’s age, all contributing to the unique display of each individual plant.
