Aptenia Cordifolia Ice Plant not flowering...ever!
Comments (4)Thank you, Steve & Dottie, for your responses. Steve, since the plant is making buds, I do suspect the soil may be somehow choking off the root system. However, as a ground cover, this plant is supposed to be rather tolerant. I thought I was pampering it by using a cactus mix with lots of perlite and mixing that with Miracle-Gro for houseplants. I've checked the soil and it is never hard when it's dry. I am going to change the soil to something else...I just don't know what yet. With the water, I do notice the plant gets a little limp midweek, so I water lightly from below. On Saturdays, I put the pot in the sink and water from the top and let it sit in a little water to drink for about 15 minutes, then I hold the pot diagonally to let the water run off and return the plant to its tray. Dottie, yes, Red Apple is another name for this plant, as is Baby Sun Rose. I don't think the plant is healthy at all because the buds have failed to bloom all summer long. My previous plant DID bloom all year on my window sill. I will certainly follow your and Steve's advice and change the soil. I've attached a picture of MY PREVIOUS PLANT, which I gave away to someone who fell in love with it...Now I wish I had taken the time to prepare 1/2 pot for her so I could at least still have the other half...it was doing so well. Thanks again for your responses...All the very best to you....See MoreAnn T. is the sweetest person!
Comments (1)Ann is great, no doubt about it. Her photography is second to none and her baking skills are lengendary! Hearing that she is giving of her time and knowledge is not a surprise. What a great place we have here at the CF, eh? Duane...See MoreSweet dog story, get your kleenex
Comments (6)Mark sounds like a sweet caring man. Hope you are doing okay... I still cry over my last dog and he's been gone almost 2 years now. Animals sure do wriggle their way into our hearts, don't they?...See MoreGranlan
Comments (30)Oh, no. I haven't been to FB in awhile and had no idea. I will miss her. Such a lovely lady. She used to work for the American Quarter Horse Association, and when I had questions about one of my horses, she was very quick to get me some help via her cousin who still works there. I know I could have contacted the association myself but before I could, Granlan got the answers for me. I helped her awhile back with one of her cats, sent meds for it. I am so very sorry to read about this....See Moreronf_gw
