Plant Care

Light: Place the plant in a spot with bright, indirect sunlight for at least six hours a day. An east-facing window is ideal, while a south-facing window should have the plant placed a few feet back to avoid harsh midday sun. Avoid north-facing windows as they do not provide enough light. Spindly growth is a sign of insufficient light.  Watering: Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. To check if it's time to water, stick your finger into the top inch of soil; if it feels dry, it's time for a drink. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. During the winter dormancy, water even less frequently.  Soil and Potting: Use a well-draining, sandy soil mix, like a cactus and succulent mix. Repot the plant once it has doubled in size or at least once a year to refresh the soil. Choose a pot wide enough to catch the plantlets that fall off, as they will readily root.  Fertilizing: Mother of Thousands are not heavy feeders. Fertilize sparingly with a liquid fertilizer diluted to half-strength during the growing season (spring and summer). Do not fertilize during the fall and winter when the plant is dormant.  Temperature and placement: Keep the plant in temperatures between 65-75 F (18-24 C). Protect the plant from temperatures below 40 F (4.4 C) and bring it indoors before the first frost. Keep it away from other plants, as its plantlets will quickly spread and take root everywhere.  Other considerations: Be aware that the plant is toxic to pets, so keep it out of their reach. Watch for pests like mealybugs and aphids and remove them with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol.
