Introducing the Pink ice plant, known as Oscularia deltoides, which is a trailing succulent with pink flowers. Native to South Africa, this low-maintenance succulent makes great ground cover and spreads out, forming a colorful mat, and grows well on the rocky edge. Additionally, this pink ice plant can be grown in pots too.

The name "ice plant" refers to tiny hairs on the plant's leaves and stems that reflect light in the same way that ice crystals do. The foliage is fleshy and succulent-like, and it darkens as fall temperatures drop. Although ice plants are cold-sensitive, many varieties are evergreen in warm, dry climates.

Ice plants are used in sunny but sheltered desert gardens, rock gardens, slopes, ground cover, and as edging plants.

It is also known as Lampranthus Deltoides, Deltoid Leaved Dew Plant, Tooth-leaf Rock Vygie, Dassievygie, and Sandsteenvygie.

With its small, plump leaves that boast a mesmerizing blue-green hue, this ice plant is sure to turn heads and add drama to any space.

The three-sided leaves of the ice plant are fat and trailing.  The color becomes more intense as the pink ice plant ages and is exposed to more sunlight. It can grow up to 1 foot tall and 2 feet wide.

The ice plant flowers bloom during the late spring to summer, with bright pinkish-purple and dazzling magenta-pink flowers. They bloom from every nook and cranny until they completely surround and cover the whole plant. This stunning ground covered with pink flowers is closed up in the morning but open, often to cover the plant, in the afternoon. 

The true beauty of this trailing plant is that it can withstand high temperatures and extreme environmental conditions without showing signs of stress. It attracts butterflies.

Leaf cuttings and stem cuttings are the easiest way to propagate these ice plant ground cover. 

When and How to Water Your Ice Plant 

The ice plant is a succulent that prefers well-draining soil and requires watering only when the soil is dry to the touch. Overwatering can cause root rot and other issues that can damage these pink plants. They can be watered year-round and water regularly from spring to Autumn but reduce the watering frequency in winter; the growth period is early Spring to late Summer. 

When watering the pink ice plant, it is important to avoid standing water and to ensure that the soil is able to dry out between watering sessions. The pink ice plant is well-suited to dry climates and can tolerate periods of drought, but it does require a lot of water to thrive. 

Remember, watering should be done at the base of the succulent ice plant rather than from above to avoid getting water on the leaves, which can cause damage or rot. With proper watering and care, the pink ice plant can thrive and produce colorful blooms that are sure to brighten up any garden. 

Light Requirements - Where to Put Ice Plant

Like many other succulents, the ice plant is sun-loving and also requires direct, bright light to thrive.  When grown indoors, place it in the sunniest place in your house. It is ideal to grow this pink flower ground cover in a west- or south-facing window, when it can get 4-6 hours of bright sunlight. 

For outdoor cultivation, these oscularia deltoides require full sun to partial shade for at least 6-8 hours of strong light each day. Although light shade in the afternoon is often preferable - especially in hotter climates where the plant might become stressed by the intense heat of the afternoon sun. It's crucial to place your pink plants away from any areas with constant direct sunlight, as doing so could result in burned foliage. 

Remember, when planting the pink ice plant, it is important to choose a location that receives full sun throughout the day to maintain its colors. It is well-suited to hot and dry climates and can tolerate high temperatures and intense sunlight. 

This pink ice is able to tolerate some shade, but it may not produce as many blooms in areas with less sunlight or in too much shade. With proper light and care, the pink ice plant can thrive and produce beautiful blooms that are sure to add color and interest to any garden or landscape. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The ice plant favors very airy, sandy soil that drains well. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and, most likely, root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally, use our specialized potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent to thrive. 

When it comes to fertilizer, the pink ice plant does not require a lot of additional nutrients. In fact, too much fertilizer can cause the plant to produce excessive foliage at the expense of blooms. A slow-release natural fertilizer with an equal mix of NPK (5-10-5) can be applied once a year in the spring to help provide the plant with the nutrients it needs to thrive. Care should be taken to avoid over-fertilizing the succulent plant, as this can lead to issues with growth and blooming. 

With proper soil and fertilizer, the ice flower plant can thrive and produce beautiful blooms that are sure to add color and interest to any garden or landscape. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, it should be kept between 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure optimal growth. The requirements are fairly flexible, as it can tolerate a wide range of temperatures. However, it is best to keep it in a warm environment with plenty of sunlight to encourage healthy growth.

For outdoor cultivation, this hardy ice plant is suitable outdoors in USDA zones 8-11, making oscularia deltoidesa a versatile plant that can be grown in a variety of climates. However, it is important to ensure that the succulent plants receive enough water to prevent issues with dehydration. 

The ice plant is able to tolerate mild frost, but it may struggle in areas with prolonged periods of frost or freezing temperatures. The best way to grow these pink ground covers is in containers, especially for those who live in regions with harsh winters.  

When it's cold outside, or there is a chance of snow or frost, you can then bring them inside. There are ways to keep your pink ice plant succulent safe from the cold if you are unable to bring it inside.To help them endure the harsh winter, you can use frost cloths or tiny greenhouses.

Leaks
Color: Blue+red
Water leaks out of the button you press to change out the head so we will be sending back. Other than that it would be perfect, I’m sure it’s just a fluke thing.

The most powerful water flosser I've found. 100% happy!
Color: Rose Gold
I prefer a water flosser which has the ability to shoot the water between my, very tightly spaced, teeth more powerfully than other water flossers I'd tried. Online searches seem to often say that the Waterpik Aquarius Water Flosser is the best and most powerful water flosser, so over time, I actually purchased that product TWICE, although I was not particularly impressed with its power when I first purchased it. At the time, I could not identify any similar product that appeared to perform any better. Well, recently a friend recommended this Burst water flosser to me so I decided to give it a try. I am SO happy to report that it IS more powerful than the Waterpic water flosser, and using it's high setting, it has helped me flush significantly more debris from within my teeth and gums than I was able to get with the Waterpic product. On top of that, I love that it is cordless and that it takes up much less space on my pedestal sink. Admittedly, since its water reservoir is smaller, I do have to fill it twice in order to very thoroughly clean all of my teeth and gums each time, but that is a non-issue for me. I'm extremely satisfied with this product!

Childhood memories 😊
Color: Black, Color: Black
I came across this device from my orthodontist. I really don't enjoy flossing, for whatever reason I've always felt like I'm going to pull out a tooth when going slightly around my teeths gumline. But this little nifty device called burst helps with that. I've always enjoy the water flossing when I was a child visiting the orthodontist and now that I'm an adult, I still feel the same way. This whatever flossing device is amazing. That being said, please read the instructions or at least watch and the video, that's a major plus for the visual learner's. The water floss is pretty powerful so be mindful. When I first used this device I dang near shot water in my eyeball. They definitely gave it the right name "Burst". I love the design of the packaging and the cute little travel bag it comes with. It's very easy to hold and the materials that this device is made out of does not feel cheap at all. It's very smooth to the touch and easy to hold. Though the the device is big,I must say it isn't heavy to hold when water flossing. I did however have a little bit of a hard time opening the area where the water goes. It's definitely a snug fit but once you pull at it enough eventually it'll open. The overall design is outstanding. They come in various colors as well. I'm definitely glad my dentist brought this to my attention after me sharing my fear of regular flossing. I definitely prefer water flossing over dental flossing however I still incorporate dental flossing for two reasons. One being dental hygiene and second being to overcome my fear. So if you share that fear with me as well this burst device is definitely a safer alternative. But do keep in my to dental floss as well for hygiene and to conquer your fears. I hope this helps Amazon folks! Happy water flossing!

BURST OR BUST?
Color: Rose Gold
This is my second purchase of the Burst water flosser. The first stopped working after one year. Im just hoping this one lasts longer!!! In the interim I did buy a Waterpik based on the brand being around for so long. Side by side comparison, the Burst has more burst than the Waterpik. Im going to keep this one even though the price has doubled since my original purchase. Rated 4/5 because the first purchase only lasted one year and because of the increase in price.

Received Burst Water Flosser, that never worked. Found out too late.
Color: Rose Gold
Ordered this item on recommendation of my dental hygenist, then needed a tooth pulled and was starting the dental implant process so was told I couldn't use it for awhile. The process took another 1 & 1/2 years. After the final crown I was told to use a waterpik. I went to use this, was unable to charge it, may have been missing a part, tried a matching plug. It wouldn't charge or turn on. Too late to return, so I'm out a good chunk of money in exchange for junk, something that never worked. I wonder if someone had returned a defective one as it had a dark finger smudge where it turns on, which I couldn't wash off. The tips were in a new package. Very disappointed.
