watering
In general, the Ice Plant (Delosperma 'Orange Crush') should be watered thoroughly once per week, or more often in very hot or dry climates. It can handle very dry conditions, but the flowers may not last as long. Depending on the season and outdoor weather conditions, the plant should be watered deeply whenever the soil feels dry to the touch (about 1–2 inches down). During periods of heavy rainfall, the ice plant will not need to be watered as often. Above all, be sure to avoid overwatering as this can cause root rot.
sunlight
Ice plant (Delosperma 'Orange Crush') does best in full sun with 8-10 hours of direct sunlight daily for best blooming and growth. It can survive in partial shade but will not be as vibrant. Ice plant benefits from a light pruning after it finishes flowering. Doing this encourages the plant to put out a new set of flowers and keeps the plant more compact.
pruning
Ice Plant (Delosperma 'Orange Crush') should be pruned to keep it in shape and promote new growth. Pruning can be done in late winter or early spring, just before the plant begins to show new growth. Prune off any old, dead, or diseased stems, as well as any stems that have become leggy or overgrown. You can also lightly trim the plant to shape it, if desired. Make sure to sterilize shears before each snip to minimize the chance of transferring disease from 1 plant to another. Check the plant regularly during the summer months and cut back any stems that have grown too much or become unruly. With regular pruning, you can keep your ice plant looking its best.
