HOW TO TAKE CARE:

This plant is easy to grow, thriving in full sun and tolerating heat, drought, and frost. It prefers well-drained soil composed of 50% sand, gravel, or perlite. Initially, water gently to promote growth, but avoid water accumulation to prevent rot. Once established, the plant can withstand several days of drought, during which the leaf color intensifies. This resilience allows it to serve as an excellent lawn alternative, covering the ground while conserving water and eliminating the need for mowing.
