Originally from the deserts of South Africa, ice plant is a hardy perennial succulent that has naturalized in many regions around the world, including California, Florida, Australia, England and in most of the Mediterranean countries. Ice Plant was introduced to California in the early 1900s to help stabilize the soil along railroads tracks and is now classified as an invasive specie in hot climates.

Ice plant is a fast-growing, tender perennial that will survive winters in Canada in zones 8-9 in British-Columbia. They are usually cultivated as annuals in colder regions. Ice plant mixed colours grows to about six inches tall compact, low to the ground, forming a dense mat of dark-green foliage. The leaves of this succulent are short and covered in hair that look like frozen droplets of water, hence the name. Flowering occurs in late spring or early summer and display masses of flat, daisy-like flowers that come in vibrant shades of white, pink, yellow, orange and purple. Ice plant mixed colours is often grown as a ground cover, in border front, containers, rock gardens and sunny slopes.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

Don’t let the name fool you, ice plants are hot climate perennials with warm, vibrant flowers. The common name comes from the fine hairs of the plant that reflect light and resemble ice crystals. The succulent foliage can stay evergreen in warm areas.

Seeds can be started 4-6 weeks before the last frost date. Use flats or starter pots filled with moist soil and leave about 1 cm of space below the top of the container. Add a thin layer of fine gravel to the top of the soil. Sow the seeds and tamp down through the gravel so they make contact with the soil. Don’t cover the seeds, they will need direct light to germinate. 

Keep the temperature above 16 degrees and place seeds under grow lights or in a sunny spot in the house. Mist the seeds to keep moist and don’t let them dry out. After the danger of frost has passed, harden off plants over the course of two weeks. 

Ice plants will thrive in full sun, flowering abundantly. Dry, well-drained soil is the ideal medium for ice plants. Average sandy or gravel soils work best. Ice plants prefer dry conditions and after getting established should be watered infrequently, about once every two weeks when there is no rainfall. Potted plants may need a bit of fertilizing to promote blooming, whereas ice plants kept outdoors usually don’t require much feeding, unless they’re in particularly poor soil. 

Ice plants are versatile and are often used in desert gardens, rock gardens, as ground covers and borders. They do well in containers and can be taken inside before freezing temperatures arrive.

QUICK FACTS

- Ice plant is also sometimes called ‘’Livingstone Daisy’’ or ‘’Ice Daisy.’’

- In warm regions, ice plant will form a mat that can reach a diameter of up to 50 meters.

- Ice Plant seeds will remain viable for 3 years if stored in a cool, dark place, ideally between 4 and 10⁰C. After that, the germination rate may start to go down.

delightful read
Format: Kindle
What a delightful read. The characters are awesome, the plot was so good, I loved it. I was intrigued and it kept me wanting more. Told in multiple pov, the book sucks you in and doesn’t let go. I cannot wait to read the next book.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.
