How to Care for the Plant
Water
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.
Fertilizer
They appreciate a fertilization with fertilizer for succulents and cactus every 2 months in spring.
Sunlight
Sun tolerant plant. Partial shade.
