Delosperma aberdeenense

continental : Let’s try to keep the ground fairly damp, watering every 2-3 weeks with 1-2 glasses of water; when the weather is very harsh and the temperatures are below zero, watering can be interrupted.

alpine : Every 3-4 weeks water the soil, trying to wet it deeply; keep the ground constantly moist, although we must avoid water stagnations. Usually 0-1 glasses of water are used.

mediterranean : We suggest watering regularly with 2-3 glasses of water, trying to keep the growing substratum pretty cool and moist; if the climate is very cold we can reduce watering. 1-2 weeks should go by between irrigations.

continental : Locate this plant in a partially shady spot, where it can receive some hours of direct sunlight.
The Delosperma aberdeenense isn’t rustic; during the cold months it is grown in the apartment.

alpine : Let's grow these plants in a partially shaded place, where they can receive direct sunrays just for a few hours a day.
During the cold months these plants should be grown in an apartment because they can’t stand the cold; it’s best to keep the minimum temperatures above 15°C.

mediterranean : The Delosperma aberdeenense can bear a few hours of direct insolagtion, but it is best to place it in a partially shady place.
In the winter it’s best to move these plants in the apartment, as they need minimum temperatures above 12-15°C.

Fertilization Delosperma aberdeenense : During the cold months of the year we recommend suspending the fertilization of the succulent plants, to avoid them from producing too many “new” tissues, which resist the cold weather very little and are easily attacked by fungal diseases, which develop more easily during the plants’ resting period.

Treatments Delosperma aberdeenense : Towards the end of the winter, when the days tend to become longer and warmer, we suggest applying a treatment with mineral oil, against cochineals.
