Houseplants
Pickle Plant - Delosperma Echinatum
Locate me in bright light, sunny spots are ideal. Bright light means generally happy with sun hitting my leaves, near a window. Happiest in rooms with temperatures of 14º or higher.
Feed me every two months during the growing season of spring and summer with a succulent-cacti plant feed.
Re-pot every two to three years when rootbound in the spring, moving only to a slightly larger grow pot using a cacti-succulent compost.
Water me when my compost has completely dried out and do not allow me to sit in water. Stop watering me from November to March.
