Houseleeks are a type of succulent plant that is native to the Mediterranean region. They are known for their thick, fleshy leaves that store water and their ability to tolerate hot, dry conditions. Houseleeks typically grow to be about 6-12 inches tall, with a rosette of leaves that can be up to 8 inches in diameter. The leaves are usually green or gray-green in color and have a waxy surface. Houseleeks bloom in the summer, producing small yellow or white flowers.
Houseleeks are relatively easy to care for and make excellent houseplants. They thrive in bright light but can also tolerate some direct sunlight. They prefer well-drained soil and should be allowed to dry out completely between watering. Houseleeks are not frost-tolerant and should be brought indoors if temperatures drop below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. These plants are relatively slow-growing but can live for many years with proper care
