Water once a week or when the soil starts to become slightly dry at the top. Keep the soil lightly moist at all times, but do not overwater as this will cause brown spots and leaf drop. Curly or dry leaves suggest, the plant is dry and needs watering. Water in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler. Always check your soil before watering.
Bright indoor light or indirect sun. 6 hours to 8 hours
Maintain temperatures between 18°C - 24°C. Avoid draughts as these can create undesirable temperature fluctuations. Consider giving your plant an occasional misting twice every week to maintain the optimum humidity level.
Apply liquid fertilizer once in 15 days when the plant is actively growing. For best results use Folikraft ready to use Indoor Plant Food.
Position: bright but indirect light
Soil: loam-based potting compost
Rate of growth: fast
Hardiness: tender (indoors only)
Current height: approximately 15 -20cm (+ or - 10% including the pot)
Pot cover: choose a 14cm pot cover, lining the base with gravel to raise up the plant
Forms a trailing mound of tiny rounded leaves, which when grown indoors, is retained throughout the year. A fast-growing plant, it looks great when used as ground cover in a potted arrangement, but its vigour can smother smaller, slower-growing plants if it is not kept in check. For a smart, contemporary look, line up 3 or 5 on a windowsill, where it will get bright but indirect light with protection from strong direct sun.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery pot). They do however make excellent potted plants, and if you wish to pot yours up, we do have a wide range of pots on our website to choose from.
Home care: Keep the compost moist (but not waterlogged) at all times and mist the leaves frequently. Repot in spring if necessary.
