Delosperma 'Ice Plant'

Delosperma cooperi

This type of succulent is known for its bright, eye-catching flowers and its ability to thrive in hot, dry conditions. The name "Ice Plant" comes from the glistening, ice-like crystals that often cover the surface of its leaves, giving it a sparkling appearance in sunlight.

Lighting: Place it in the brightest, sunniest window possible, a south- or west-facing window is best. The more sunlight it receives, the better it will flower and maintain its compact, colourful form.

Watering: Water sparingly. Ice Plants are succulents and store moisture in their leaves. In summer months, deeply water when the top 2-3" of soil is completely dry. In Fall/Winter, water rarely, once a month, or less. Too much moisture in cold weather can cause root rot.
