How to Grow Ice Plant (Lampranthus)
- 1). Look for plants at nurseries year-round.
- 2). Choose healthy-looking plants with signs of new leaves and flower buds. Buy ice plant in 4-inch to 1-gallon containers.
- 3). Choose a site with full sun and well-drained soil.
- 4). Dig a hole for each plant that is no deeper than the soil the plant was growing in. Dig holes 1 foot apart.
- 5). Add a light application of organic fertilizer to the planting holes before setting the plants in.
- 6). Mulch around--but not on top of--the plants with 3 inches of organic compost.
- 7). Water well weekly until the soil is completely moist the first year only. Ice plant doesn't need extra water once it is established.
