Planta de pepinillo (Delosperma echinatum): una planta única con hojas de aspecto espinoso cubiertas de pequeños pelos blancos translúcidos. Es originaria de Sudáfrica y generalmente se extiende como una estera en hábitats rocosos. Sus tallos estrechos pueden crecer hasta 18,0" de largo. Florece con pequeñas flores de color amarillo pálido.

Como la mayoría de las suculentas, necesitan un gran drenaje y riego poco frecuente para evitar que se pudran. Elija contenedores con orificios de drenaje y use cactus y tierra suculenta con buen drenaje con entre un 50 % y un 70 % de arena mineral, como arena gruesa, piedra pómez o perlita. Riegue lo suficientemente profundo como para que el agua salga por el orificio de drenaje, luego espere a que la tierra se seque por completo antes de volver a regar.

Tenga en cuenta: La planta se enviará con la raíz desnuda y con poca o ninguna suciedad.

Devoluciones y cambios: No aceptado

Por favor contáctenos si tiene algún problema con su pedido

Tenga en cuenta: Las hojas frágiles pueden curvarse, caerse o magullarse durante el envío. Se recuperarán con luz y agua adecuadas y creciendo y mudando hojas viejas.

Delosperma (Ice Plant)

Delosperma is a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant succulent that thrives in full sun, making it perfect for outdoor gardens or container planting.

Light

• Outdoor: Plant your Delosperma in a sunny location where it will receive full sun for best results. It’s perfect for raised beds or containers that provide adequate drainage.
• Indoor: If growing indoors, place it in a bright, sunny spot where it can receive as much natural sunlight as possible.

Watering

• Growing Season: During the growing period (typically spring and summer), keep the soil consistently moist to help with root establishment and encourage rapid growth. Be sure to water thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain from the pot.
• Drought Tolerant: Once established, Delosperma is highly drought-tolerant and can withstand long periods without watering. Reduce watering in the fall and winter when the plant is less active.

Soil

• Well-Draining Soil: Delosperma prefers a coarse, well-draining soil. Mixing in pumice, perlite, or coarse sand will help prevent root rot and keep the plant healthy.
• Containers: If growing in containers, ensure they have adequate drainage holes to allow excess water to escape and prevent waterlogging.

Temperature

• Delosperma thrives in warm temperatures and full sun. While it is quite hardy, it should be protected from frost. In colder climates, consider growing it in pots that can be brought indoors during the winter months.

Propagation

• Stem Cuttings: To propagate Delosperma, simply cut off the top 2 inches (5 cm) of the stem and transplant it into well-draining soil. This easy method will allow you to grow new plants from your existing one.

Hardiness Zone Information: Zones 9-11

Understanding the hardiness zones is essential when selecting the right plants for your garden. This page provides general guidelines for plants suited for zones 9-11, with a temperature range of 50°F to 75°F (10°C to 24°C). These zones typically feature mild winters and warm summers, which are ideal for a variety of plants, including succulents, tropical plants, and certain perennials. Read on to learn how to make the most of these growing conditions.

Hardiness Zones 9-11 Overview

Zones 9-11 cover regions with relatively mild winter temperatures and warm summers. Here's a breakdown of each zone:

• Zone 9:

  • Minimum temperature range: 20°F to 30°F (-6°C to -1°C)
  • Ideal for many tropical and subtropical plants that require warmth but can withstand occasional dips into the 20s°F (-6°C to -1°C).

• Zone 10:

  • Minimum temperature range: 30°F to 40°F (-1°C to 4°C)
  • This zone is suitable for heat-loving plants like Agave, Bougainvillea, and many succulents.

• Zone 11:

  • Minimum temperature range: 40°F to 50°F (4°C to 10°C)
  • Perfect for plants that thrive in constant warmth, including a variety of tropical species like palms, hibiscus, and many flowering shrubs.

These zones are often found in coastal regions, areas with Mediterranean climates, and parts of the desert southwest. Due to their mild winters and warm summers, they allow for a diverse range of plant life.

Temperature Range: 50°F - 75°F (10°C - 24°C)

The temperature range of 50°F to 75°F (10°C - 24°C) is ideal for a wide range of plants. This range supports many subtropical and tropical plants that thrive in moderate warmth. Here’s how plants in this temperature range perform:

• Minimum Temperature (50°F / 10°C):
  • This is the lower threshold for plants in these zones, meaning that plants will still do well as long as temperatures do not dip below 50°F (10°C). Some plants may experience stress if exposed to temperatures lower than this, but many tropical and subtropical plants will continue to grow and flourish in this environment.
• Maximum Temperature (75°F / 24°C):
  • The upper limit of 75°F (24°C) provides an optimal growing environment for many plants. While plants may tolerate slightly higher temperatures, the range from 50°F to 75°F (10°C to 24°C) ensures steady, healthy growth without heat stress.

During the summer months, some plants may need additional care to avoid exposure to excessive heat, particularly those sensitive to extreme temperatures. Providing some afternoon shade or protecting sensitive plants during heatwaves can be beneficial.

Shipping Policy

We carefully select the healthiest and highest quality succulents to send to our customers. After choosing your plants, we remove them from their nursery pots and bare-root them to ensure they are ready for shipping. If needed, we allow the roots to dry before packaging. Each plant is wrapped in tissue paper to protect it during transit, and to help wick away excess moisture from the roots. Finally, the plants are packed securely in a sturdy cardboard box, ensuring they arrive in the best possible condition.
