Silver Ponyfoot Plant

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a sunny location with fast-draining soil, or use a well-draining potting mix in a container with drainage holes. Space plants 12–18 inches apart when using them as ground cover.

2. Watering: Water regularly while the roots become established, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Once established, water sparingly; avoid consistently wet soil, which can cause root problems.

3. Pruning: Trim trailing stems as needed to control the spread or maintain a fuller shape. Remove damaged or thinning growth, and cut back longer stems if the plant begins to look sparse.

4. Fertilizing: Feed lightly in spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Container-grown plants may benefit from a diluted liquid fertilizer during active growth, but avoid overfertilizing.
