watering
Succisella inflexa 'Frosted Pearls' do best with regular, but light waterings. In the summer, water your plant every 1 to 2 weeks, taking care to ensure the soil doesn't become too saturated or stay constantly wet. In winter, reduce watering to once every 2 to 3 months. Water only as needed, as indicated by the soil drying out a bit before the next watering. It is especially important to not water this plant while it is dormant in the winter.
sunlight
Succisella inflexa 'Frosted Pearls' requires full sun for at least 4 to 5 hours a day to thrive. Morning sun is preferable as it is less intense and will allow the plant to receive the important times of sun without damaging the delicate foliage. When the temperatures are extremely hot, additional dappled shade in the afternoon will help protect the succulent.
pruning
Succisella inflexa 'Frosted Pearls' is an evergreen groundcover with small, silver-gray leaves and rosy-pink flowers in spring. Pruning for this plant species is fairly minimal and can generally be done once or twice a year. Light pruning is recommended in early spring, just before the new growth begins. This will encourage dense, fresh growth and will help to control the spread of the plant. If the plant becomes overgrown, it may be pruned more thoroughly in late winter to help keep it from becoming leggy.
