You will receive an unrooted cutting. Cuttings can vary from 5 to 10 cm, depending on your choice. The mother plant and its cuttings are grown with all organic products. I do not use industrial pesticides, and the fertilizer is my own organic humus. This is Mesembryanthemum cordifolium.
About packaging: All products are shipped in protective packaging. I use recycled materials, support and practice recycling. So don't expect a pretty box. In the end what matters is what's inside.
Kingdom: Plantae
Order: Caryophyllales / Caryophyllales
Family: Aizoaceae
Genus: Mesembryanthemum
Species: M. cordifolium
Origin: Africa
Scientific Name: Mesembryanthemum cordifolium.
Synonyms: Aptenia cordifolia, Litocarpus cordifolius, Ludolfia cordifolius, Tetracoilanthus cordifolius.
Common Name: Ice plant, Mesembryanthemum, Aptenia cordifolia, iceplant family, baby sun rose, heart-leaf, red aptenia, rooi brakvygie, brakvygie Afrikaans, umjuluka, ibohlololo, uncolozi omncane (isiZulu), heartleaf iceplant, heart-leaved aptenia, heart-leaved midday flower, Lamprantus, Red Mesen, Mesem, Mesem.
Like many other representatives of the Aizoaceae, it opens its flowers only during the day. It is a creeping plant that forms a carpet of flat-growing perennial grasses in groups on the ground from a base.
Mesembryanthemum cordifolium can be planted as a fast-growing, hardy ground cover. The plant needs a sunny location and well-drained soil. This plant is also great for covering walls, rocks, and bare grass areas. Due to its rapid growth, it is useful in preventing the growth of weeds in the field where it is planted. It can also survive without problems in a pot, where it is grown in hanging baskets so that the long trailing branches can hang with their leaves spaced apart.
It is used as a cover to cover large areas, especially for sloping slopes and rock gardens, but it is also grown in pots and planters.
In cultivation, despite being not very rustic, they are very grateful as long as they are located in an area where they receive direct sun, being able to withstand drought much better than other flowering plants. So much so that it will only be necessary to water them twice a week in summer, and every 10-15 days the rest of the year.
