| Scroll all the way thru this page to see proof of coloring. This is the beautiful sempervivum 'state fair' and it ends the slide show. I wanted to put a disclaimer here because even though I got it to color up with these exact colors, you may never get it to do so. I achieved this coloring by ferterlizing it every other day with a water soluable 20-20-20 ferterlizer and keeping the day time temperature at 85 degrees-night time temperatures were 68 degrees. It was the month of May. You will have to match these varables perfectly to achieve this color. Normally it will just get a burgundy on light green. This plant normnally averages 2-3 inches in diameter. You can buy it here Go back to page starting with "S" |

Below you can see State Fair growing in one tray that has been ferterlized and kept
wet to get this effect. They haven't completely colored up yet. Just above in the same
picture you will see State Fair in another tray showing normal color.

Below shows three normal trays of State Fair and one tray that I have forced to color
with the yellow and orange. Because several people have questioned me on the State
Fair coloring, I have included these as proof that you can actually get this color.
Taking it even farther with keeping it extremely wet you can get even brighter
coloring.
