Aptenia Cordifolia - Baby Sun Rose - 5 x Cuttings

Aptenia Cordifolia, also known as the Heartleaf Ice Plant, is a hardy, fast-growing succulent native to South Africa. In Australia, it thrives in warm, dry climates and is commonly used as ground cover in garden beds and pots.

Care Guide:
1. Light: Aptenia Cordifolia prefers full sun to partial shade. Place your cuttings in a spot where they can receive at least 6 hours of sunlight per day.

2. Watering: Water your cuttings sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so be sure to err on the side of underwatering.

3. Soil: Plant your cuttings in well-draining soil to prevent waterlogged roots. A sandy or cactus mix is ideal for Aptenia Cordifolia.

4. Propagation: Aptenia Cordifolia can be easily propagated from cuttings. Simply snip off a healthy stem with at least one node, allow the cutting to callous over for a few days, then plant it in a pot with well-draining soil.

5. Fertilising: Fertilise your Aptenia Cordifolia cuttings sparingly, using a diluted, balanced fertiliser during the growing season (spring and summer).

6. Pruning: To encourage bushy growth, pinch back the stems of your Aptenia Cordifolia cuttings regularly. This will also help to prevent leggy growth.

Overall, Aptenia Cordifolia cuttings are low-maintenance and drought-tolerant plants that make brilliant ground cover. They will reward you with vibrant green foliage and cheerful pink flowers throughout the year.
