Growing Ice Plant: Tips for Colorful Ground Cover

Plant ice plant in well-draining soil and full sun for the best results. Water it sparingly once established, as it is drought-tolerant and prefers dry conditions. Fertilize the plants lightly in the spring to encourage flowering and healthy growth. To prevent issues with pests like snails and slugs, keep the area around the plants free of debris and apply a barrier of crushed eggshells or diatomaceous earth.
