Delosperma cooperi

Fertilize Delosperma cooperi : During the colder months of the year we recommend interrupting the fertilization of succulent plants, to avoid them from producing too many “new” tissues, which aren’t very resistant to the cold temperatures and are easily attacked by fungal diseases, which develop more easily during the period of rest of the plant.

continental : Locate this plant in a partially shady place, where it can receive some hours of direct sunlight.
During the autumnal months we can leave the the Delosperma cooperi outdoors, only until the minimum temperatures are above 15°C; when the climate is cooler let’s move the the Delosperma cooperi in an apartment or greenhouse.

alpine : For a balanced development let's place the the Delosperma cooperi in a partially shaded place, protected by solar rays for most of the day.
These plants can’t tolerate minimum temperatures below 15°C, therefore in autumn they are grown in the apartment.

mediterranean : These plants favour partially shady places, where they are reached by direct sunrays only during the evening and early morning hours.
The Delosperma cooperi are grown in a sheltered place or in the apartment; if the climate is mild, with minimum temperatures above 15°C, they can be moved outdoors.

continental : We suggest watering quite frequently, every 2-3 weeks. In this manner it will be kept fairly moist, without being soaked with water. Usually 2-3 glasses of water are used.

alpine : Watering should be done pretty frequently and regularly, but without exceeding: let’s remember to we the soil thoroughly and let it dry before giving it more water. Let’s irrigate every 3-4 weeks using 1-2 glasses of water.

mediterranean : Watering in this period of the year must be very frequent, even every 1-2 weeks, so that the soil is always slightly damp. For average dimension plants we suggest using about 3-4 glasses of water.

Pests Delosperma cooperi : As the temperatures get lower, let’s prepare our succulents for their winter rest; we should apply an anticoccidiosis treatment, using white oil.
