Product Details
Highlights
Drosanthemum hispidum (Schwantes): A branching green ice plant with showy purple flowers. Its leaves are finger shaped and bend and sprawl to access more light as they grow. The whole plant is covered in tiny hairs, the finest of which are on the leaves. This fine hair gives the leaves a dewy appearance while the longer hairs on the stem give the whole plant a fuzzy look.
Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need ample sunlight, good drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
