Mesembryanthemum Planting and care

Mesembryanthemum Seeds grow easily from seed but take a long time to mature, so they should be started early indoors about 10 to 12 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds into the surface of the soil and cover to their thickness, as darkness is required for germination. Covering the pots with black plastic is a good idea. Keep the planting medium damp, and once the seeds have sprouted, (about 14 days at 70 degrees F.) Move them to a greenhouse.

Mesembryanthemum A week or so before transplanting into the garden, harden the  seedlings off by putting them in a cold frame or a sheltered spot outdoors during the day.

Mesembryanthemum  Apart from keeping it well watered for a few weeks after planting in late spring, this plant needs little care. If growing it in a container, allow the compost to dry out completely between watering.How to prune mesembryanthemum

Mesembryanthemum To keep the cheerful display going all summer and into autumn, deadhead the old flowers by pinching or cutting them off. It’s easy to limit the spread of the plant by cutting the stems, either with secateurs or using a border spade. If you’re overwintering your ice plant indoors, prepare it in autumn by using shears to trim off any remaining flower heads and cut the foliage to a uniform height.
