The best way to water your Phedimus is to use the "soak and dry" method. Get the soil completely wet and then wait until the soil is dry before watering again.
Use a balanced, low-number fertilizer. Fertilizers are better applied at a quarter or half strength, about every two weeks. Refrain from fertilizing towards the end of fall season and during winter months.
Phedimus spurius can tolerate temperatures as low as -30 to 40°F (-34.4 to 4.4°C). Inside, average room temperatures from 65°F/18.3°C to 75°F/23.8°C.
