General Information:
Are you looking to add a touch of silver to your garden? Dichondra's beautiful, soft, silver foliage creates low maintenance baskets or containers.
Preparing the Soil
Dichondra prefers well-draining soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. Use a good quality soilless mix in baskets or containers.
Providing Adequate Sunlight
Dichondra thrives in full sun to partial shade. Choose a location in your garden that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. If you have a shaded area, make sure it still receives some sunlight throughout the day. Avoid planting dichondra in areas with heavy shade, as it may result in poor growth and sparse foliage.
Maintaining and Pruning
To keep your dichondra plants looking their best, regular maintenance and pruning are necessary. Trim back any overgrown or leggy stems to encourage bushier growth. Avoid overwatering, as dichondra is susceptible to root rot.
