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.

Great patches for punctures and the proper way to repair a tyre.
Size: 0.16 x 1.42 ,0.24 x 1.77 ,0.35 x 2.36 Inch, Size: 0.16 x 1.42 ,0.24 x 1.77 ,0.35 x 2.36 Inch
Why go to a tire repair shop and spend a fortune when you can do it yourself. However most people don't want to be bothered but for us do it yourselfers this patch set was great. Comes with various patches all in different sizes. If you're not familiar with fixing a tire it's really easy and honestly a scam getting it done. Fun fact the gray glue on the bottom is actually activated when you drive heating up the patch and vulcanizing it to the tire but it doesn't hurt to actually use some rubber cement to seal around the patch to prevent future leaks. I ended up having to use these on one of my motorcycle tires when I ran over a pallet staple, for me the biggest patchwork and once testing and rebeating the tire there was no leakage. Good price for the amount you receive and cost less to repair it yourself than taking it to a shop

Worked Great. Save a Near New Tire
Size: 0.16 x 1.42 ,0.24 x 1.77 ,0.35 x 2.36 Inch
I got these because twice this year I picked up a nail in my motorcycle tire. The local shops want to sell tires so they won't patch any tire no matter how new. I used these on two tires, a steel-belted radial and a bias-ply off-road tire. It worked out great, both have been holding air for months now and by doing it myself I saved hundreds of $$$. These are the best way to pemanently patch a tire that's gotten a smallish puncture.

Good quality, Best for schools and shops.
Size: 0.16 x 1.42 ,0.24 x 1.77 ,0.35 x 2.36 Inch
I bought this butyl repair patch and the quality is good. I brought it to the school where I’m learning automotive repair and used it as a teaching consumable. Many students tried it, and everyone thought it worked very well. One thing I would suggest for individual buyers: pay attention to the size combinations in the package. For most car owners, you may end up using only one size more often. Because of that, this mixed-size packaging is probably more suitable for schools, training programs, or auto repair shops where different sizes are needed regularly. Overall, it’s still a good quality product and performs exactly as expected.

Look very useful
Size: 0.16 x 1.42 ,0.24 x 1.77 ,0.35 x 2.36 Inch
Haven't actually used them yet, but they look like the perfect way to fix a flat. As can be seen they come in various sizes depending on what you will need. All you need to get is some tire patch rubber cement and a good inner tire sealer (I picked up a can of Xtra Seal)

Saved me from buying a tire
Size: 0.16 x 1.42 ,0.24 x 1.77 ,0.35 x 2.36 Inch, Size: 0.16 x 1.42 ,0.24 x 1.77 ,0.35 x 2.36 Inch
Took our ancient van on a trip to Florida (from IL) and wouldn't you know we picked up some debris in construction. I was able to plug it however the next morning it was flat again. This time I used 2 plugs to and we were able to get home on that. Realizing this wasn't what I wanted my wife driving around and I didn't wanna buy tires for a van with 250k on it I set out to find some internal patches. I pulled the tire off using a harbor freight bead breaker and some motion pro spoons, used vulcanizing Compound and a dremel and patched it right up. Once the tire is off its a really easy process and I just marked my tire and rim to keep the balance close when it went back together. All appears to be working perfectly with no leaks over the past few weeks. This cost way less than a new tire and now I have more for other holes in the future
