ice plant

Water the Ice Plant (Delosperma cooperi 'WOWDAY2' WHEELS OF WONDER FIRE WONDER) once a week, or more frequently in very hot weather. Water until moisture is seen coming through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot, then allow the top 3cm (1in) of soil to dry out between waterings. Do not over-water as this can cause root rot. In winter, reduce watering to once a month. Feed monthly with a balanced liquid plant fertilizer or slow-release fertilizer in spring and summer.

The ice plant (Delosperma cooperi 'WOWDAY2' WHEELS OF WONDER FIRE WONDER) is a fast-growing, drought-tolerant succulent. It requires plenty of sunlight to thrive, and should be planted in an area that receives full sun for at least 8–10 hours a day. During the summer months, this plant may need more direct sunlight, particularly during the hottest parts of the day. In cooler climates, a bit of afternoon shade is beneficial, but some direct sun is still required. If this plant does not get enough sunlight, it will result in weak, spindly growth. It is best to plant the ice plant in early spring so it has ample time to become established before the winter months arrive.

Hardiness zone 5–9.

To keep your Ice Plant (Delosperma cooperi 'WOWDAY2' WHEELS OF WONDER FIRE WONDER) in good health and looking its best, it should be pruned on an annual basis.

This will promote healthy new growth and a nice, pleasant shape for your plant. Finish by trimming off any old foliage or flowers. This pruning process will help improve the overall appearance of your Ice Plant and help it to flourish.
