Thank you for this video!!! Very informative! I've had an ice plant for about 14.5 months that I've somehow managed to keep alive, yet the wrinkles and correct watering method have baffled me! Now I know that I've got to remove it from my window sill and water a bit more😊 Thank you so much for all of the details and tips you included here! Much peace and love ✌
thank you so much ...yes they need but more watering and no direct sunlight ..i know its so strange even though they have such chubby but they run out of water quick even a think leaf succulent like echeveria wouldn't need much water how much these need :)
I would choose Ice Plant, For this Succulent. Am certain that you spend most of your time in the garden. Your minute observations speaks volumes of your research on the minutest of details. Splendid job, thanks for sharing. 🌟🌟🌟
Thankyou for your tips... Putting in direct sunlight damaged my plant but after watching your video I understood the watering and sunlight needs... Thankyou sir
Thank you for this video. I just bought this plant and didn’t know much about it and I was going to put it in a pot with other cacti but I think I will leave it in its own pot because it seems to need more water than others. Thanks so much!
oh yes please don’t add it to cacti….very thirsty succulent that’s why I don’t even use this one in any arrangement wrinkles up pretty quick 😊….keep it separate….wishing you all the luck 😀
Thank you for your very helpful video! I was so excited finding one of these plants in the store as I had never seen any before and it was doing great all summer until my cat chewed on it. I put it outside and direct sun which definitely made it wrinkled and white spots all over it. Everything I've tried I think was the exact wrong thing, repotting, fertilized, full sun, and the dirt is wet. Sigh. It's almost completely dried out, just the teeniest green leaves poking out of one stem. I'm going to move it to indirect light and try to just ignore it so I don't fuss over it anymore and see if it ever comes back. I am so bad with succulents, murdered 3 of my mom's and all the attempts to propagate. I have 2 now seeming ok but I don't have my hopes too high. I should probably just give up on succulents and stop murdering them. The snake plants love me and we do great together so I'll just stick with that one and my Monstera.
oh nooo …don’t worry the initial part is difficult…even I have killed a lot of succulents…3 is like a small number lol sorry …yes this variety need indirect light ..little bit more watering but no soggy wet ..best is look for wrinkles if you see it’s time to give it a drink …please don’t give up lol
I was thinking of getting this plant because it is beautiful...but sounds like this plant is a lot of work...I am going to stay with much easier succulents..I am happy you made this video, now I know this plant is not for me, Thank you!
ah yes …good choice yes this plant is quite fussy especially watering and sunlight…does t like direct sunlight…need more watering compared to other succulents…constant thirsty succulent also not advisable to added in arrangements …it creates issues in long run
Actually i am from South Africa and I have grown this vygie back home and I grow it here in the northern hemisphere, the stem is supposed to get dry like that, in South Africa these plants have a woody stem to reflect light and stop water from escaping, the new stem will always be green or red, the old stem is hard and woody
thank you so much Ryan for you valuable tip …this makes so much sense considering this plant is always thirsty….it’s such a relief to know it’s normal for the stem to turn woody 😊 thank you once again 🪴
Ok I have to mention this because this works for any plants propagated by cuttings not grown from seed taken from the southern to northern hemisphere. Get some kind of grow light, a fluorescent will be OK but the ones they use to grow marijuana that use a huge amount of power are better, and put the plant under it for the amount of hours that it's daylight where it is from in January and December, and your plant will think it is still in the southern hemisphere and flower then. This works almost universally for all southern hemisphere plants propagated from cuttings not grown from seed but it works especially well for South African plants. I even somehow got one to naturalize in my yard thinking it's still in the southern hemisphere and grow a flower stalk with giant orange flowers around Christmas every year. It's fun, try it, some people have had succulents for years that never flowered until they did it because the plant's internal memory never thought it was summer.
Hi, I have recently ordered this succulent from plant orbit, all the leaves are superrrr wrinkly and stems are dry as well, except the top part (looks little reddish). But no signs of aerial roots. I hope it survives.
yes put it in soil keep it indirect bright light and water ...these guys need more water compared to other succulents ...ensure your soil is lose .. after watering it will lose the wrinkles ...its very common with this plant to wrinkle don't worry
@@LushGardenerThank you, such a relief to know that. About soil, I have prepared the mix as per your instructions: bought aquarium sand+ double filtered soil (80:20). I wish Biotique sold some anti-wrinkle agent for this one too😋
Hi brother, recently I ordered this ice plant online and it came fully dried. plzz help to save this plant. plzz share me the tips to revive it from fully dried
hi mam put it in lose porous well draining soil don’t add any fertiliser and keep only in indirect bright light no direct sunlight ….yes this succulent gets wrinkles and look dehydrated very fast …don’t worry just water it …if it’s extremely dehydrated it will take time for it to bounce back don’t worry …
It’s a very slow grower Sonia this particular plant of mine it’s been more than a year not much growth ….but just continue the same care you been giving this is the first time m propagating it .I have never cut them before let’s see how the propagation goes ☺️
yes your correct mine is etiolated ...i mentioned in the video mine is stretched due to less light because of the monsoon season the amount of light reduces a lot during this season for couple of months :(
I have a small plant and i can even see growth in it and is doing well till now 😀 love your videos!
thank you so much for watching… wishing you all best hope they grow healthy 😊

I have this ice plant I’m having a hard time in taking care. Thank you for sharing this video.
oh no so Sorry to hear that I know how difficult it is to see a succulent struggle wishing you all luck hope it does well soon 🙂
Just make sure your plant has gravel mixed with sand as soil and water it once a week or when it starts looking dry
