Sowing instructions

To successfully grow Mesembryanthemum crystallinum "White", you should sow the seeds in spring. The ideal temperature for germination is between 18-22°C. Use a well-drained substrate to avoid waterlogging. Sprinkle the seeds lightly on the soil and cover them only minimally, as they need light to germinate. Keep the substrate evenly moist, but not wet. The first seedlings should appear within 1-2 weeks.

Tips and tricks

Mesembryanthemum crystallinum "White" thrives best in a sunny location. These plants are extremely drought-resistant and require little water once they are established. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot. If you want to grow the plant outdoors, wait until after the last frosty nights. In the garden, it can be used as a ground cover as it grows densely and forms an attractive, silvery-white carpet.

Worth knowing

Mesembryanthemum crystallinum, also known as crystal ice flower, not only has decorative value, but also an interesting characteristic: the leaves are covered with small, crystal-like cells that store water. These cells glisten in the sun and give the plant a frosty appearance, making it a real eye-catcher. Originally from South Africa, this plant is perfectly adapted to dry and sunny conditions. It is not only easy to care for, but also ideal for rock gardens or as a container plant.
