Aptenia, Heartleaf Ice – Succulent Plant

Aptenia Plant is one of the most famous houseplants to grow as a ground cover because of its beautiful flowers. They have bright green thick leaves that look like a beautiful miniature aster. They are an easy-to-care plant that requires minimal love from you to grow.

General

The Aptenia Plant is a native plant of Southern Africa regions.

Your Aptenia Plant was used as a medicine to cure anemia in babies and women. It contains anti-inflammatory benefits too.

Your Aptenia Plant can grow up to 9 inches tall when grown indoors.

Sunlight

The Aptenia Plant prefers full sun to bright indirect sunlight to maintain the color of its foliage. If they receive less sunlight, they will blossom less.

Your Plant requires a temperature of no less than 10 C or their health may start to decline. Hence, you must keep your plant indoors during the winter season.

Watering

Water your Aptenia Plant only when the 4 inches of the topsoil is dry to touch. You must water them once every 3 days during the summers and once every 5 days during the winters.

Your Plant does not prefer a high humidity environment and hence, you should not consider keeping them in your bathroom or kitchen areas.

Soil

Your Aralia Variegated White Plant grows well in rich loamy soil which is similar to their natural habitat. However, you can consider using any soil for your plant with a good drainage system as well.

Fertilizer

The Aptenia Plant is not a heavy feeder but regular feeding will boost its growth. You can use any balanced liquid fertilizer or granular fertilizer for your plant to fertilize them once every 2 months in the summer season.

However, during the winter season, you must withhold any fertilizer use as it is the natural resting period for your plants.

Toxicity

Your Aptenia Plant is considered to be only mildly toxic for some pets and humans. It can cause dermatitis or short-lived fever or headache if ingested.

Additional Care

You should prune your Aptenia Plant once every 1.5 months by clipping odd the dead leaves and twigs from the plant to maintain its beautiful appearance and to prevent it from becoming leggy.

You should repot your plant once every year in a pot that is longer than a size bigger than the current pot to help your plant grow the best during the spring or summer season. You must use a new potting mix for your plant then.

Troubleshooting

The Aptenia Plant turning yellow or brown: It is an indication of your overwatering- Water your plant only when the top 4 inches of the soil is dry to touch.

The Aptenia Plant not flowering: This is caused due to less sunlight exposure- Keep your plant in an area that receives ample amount of sunlight to ensure a high blossom.
