Delosperma echinatum is a low-growing, shrubby sprawling succulent which can grow to 45cm tall, with thin wiry stems holding pairs of 1 inch long barrel-shaped green leaves that, like the younger stems, bristle with soft spiny white hairs. From late winter it sports pale yellow flowers held at the stem tips. Plant in full sun to light shade.
Water your ice plant sparingly, if at all, during the growing season. One watering every two weeks should be sufficient during periods when there is no rainfall, although a weekly watering may be needed during hot weather. Let your ice plant dry out before winter, so it's not sitting in soil that is too moist.
Provide good air circulation, with temperatures between 65 (18 °C) to 75 F (23 °C) and nighttime temperatures between 50 t(10°C) to 60 F (15 °C).
