How to Care for Delosperma Jewel of the Desert Moonstone

How do I plant Delosperma Jewel of the Desert Moonstone?

How do I plant Delosperma Jewel of the Desert Moonstone?

When planting your newly purchased Jewel of the Desert Moonstone, dig a hole twice as wide as the root system but nothing deeper. If needed, you might need to add a locally sourced compost or topsoil to the back-fill soil. The most common cause of plant death after transplanting is planting the new plant to deep. A good rule of thumb is to be able to still see the soil the plant was grown in after back-filling the hole.

How do I fertilize Delosperma Jewel of the Desert Moonstone?

How do I fertilize Delosperma Jewel of the Desert Moonstone?

In the very early spring and midsummer all new growth has hardened off and flower buds begin to set, this is the best time to feed your plant. Products like Espoma Flower-tone would be the best early spring fertilizer to give the Moonstone a much needed boost of nitrogen potash. Once doing so, your plant will grow healthy foliage and strong stems. Follow the same steps again in early summer to provide the necessary nutrients for your beautiful flowers.

How often should I water Jewel of the Desert Moonstone Plants?
