Pot up ice plants in sharply drained, gritty compost and grow them on in frost free conditions. When they are well grown and all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days before transplanting into their final positions. Delosperma thrives in poor sandy, sharply drained soil, in a sunny, sheltered position. Add plenty of sharp grit to the soil prior to planting in order to improve drainage and prevent the roots from rotting.
Delosperma requires little maintenance. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings and feed every 3 weeks whilst in active growth.
We will do our best to ship your plants or bulbs to you at the ideal time for planting as stated against each product.

    All the plants and trees I have purchased from van meuwen have been very healthy and well packed, I would recommend them to all my friends. I would not go anywhere else.
