How do I plant Delosperma Jewel of the Desert Rose Ice Plant?

How do I plant Delosperma Jewel of the Desert Rose Ice Plant?

We suggest when planting your newly purchased Jewel of the Desert Ice plant, dig a hole twice as wide as the root, no deeper. Depending on your existing soil's quality, you may need to add a locally sourced compost or topsoil to the back-fill soil. A good way to ensure your perennial is planted properly is to be able to see the soil the plant was grown in after back-filling the hole. The most common cause of plant death after transplanting is planting the new plant to deep.

What Kind of Soil Should I Give My Delosperma Jewel of the Desert Rose?

What Kind of Soil Should I Give My Delosperma Jewel of the Desert Rose?

We recommend any average soil that is well-draining and on the grittier side. When overwatered, Jewel of the Desert Rose Quartz will run into the risk of root rot and this can be easily avoided with a soil that does not retain water. Your new plant is drought-resistant, keep this in mind when planting. If there is a spot of your garden that gets too much sun and stays too dry for most plants, odds are it will be the best spot for your Rose Ice plant.

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

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

When it comes to watering, this plant is extremely drought-tolerant. Water sparingly once established only during the growing seasons of late spring to early fall. In the winter season do not water your plant, this will avoid any possibility of root rot. Basically, the dryer the soil, the happier your plant will be. We suggest allowing the top 1 to 2 inches to be fully dry before watering you plant thoroughly.
