After Arrival

Unpack the plants promptly and check the soil moisture. Let them recover in a bright, sheltered location before transplanting. Gradually introduce outdoor sun and wind over several days to reduce stress. Temporary wilting or minor leaf damage can occur during shipping.

Planting and Care

Plant in a loose, well-drained potting mix or well-drained garden soil. Containers should have drainage holes. Water thoroughly after planting, then allow the upper layer of soil to begin drying before watering again. Avoid keeping the roots constantly wet.

Trim long stems as needed to encourage branching or maintain the desired shape. Feed lightly during active growth according to the directions on a balanced fertilizer. Growth rate and trailing length vary with light, temperature, container size, and care.

Seasonal Note

Silver Falls dichondra is frost sensitive. Protect plants from cold weather and bring containers into a bright, frost-free location before freezing conditions if you plan to keep them beyond the outdoor season.
