This plant is used for ear infections, swelling and a lot more, but I do not know what it is called in English.

The latin name for this plant is sempervivum tectorum Wink

, but english not sure...

It is commonly called HOUSELEEK or LIVEFOREVER (LIVE-FOREVER). Wink

it is called the house keeper plant

thats what we call it it in the uk but majas answer is correct too

Yap, the same plant. "House keeper is actually a direct translation of "Cuvarkuca". There is an old custom in some parts of Europe when people bring this plant in a blue pot as a gift to the families or people in general who have moved into a new house. Don't know why the pot needs to be blue, though! Smile
