Spanish Stonecrop
Spanish stonecrop requires bright, direct sunlight and well-draining soil, as it is a succulent that is drought-tolerant once established. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings, and avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
Light
- Provide bright, direct sun. Spanish stonecrop needs abundant sunlight to thrive, so place it in a sunny window if grown indoors.
- Too little light causes leggy growth. If the plant stretches out with long stems and fewer leaves, it needs more light.
Soil and watering
- Use well-draining soil. A cactus or succulent mix is ideal. You can also improve regular potting soil by adding perlite or sand.
- Water sparingly. This is a drought-tolerant succulent that stores water in its leaves.
- Water thoroughly when the soil is dry. Wait for the top few inches of soil to be dry to the touch before watering again.
- Avoid overwatering. Do not let the plant sit in water, as this can lead to root rot.
- Reduce watering in winter. The plant needs even less water when it is dormant in cooler months.
