Features

‘Frosted Terra’ is a close cousin to other “inch plants” in the Tradescantia family, and equally easy-to-grow. It features lanceolate, succulent leaves that are edged in long, white hairs, giving it a touchably soft, frosted appearance. One look and you’ll be able to surmise why this plant has also earned the nickname “kitten ears”! With a spreading, trailing habit, ‘Frosted Terra’ inches along and makes an adorable addition to any container that it can spill out of.

Maintenance Notes:

For optimal performance, keep your Succulent at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
Succulents love sunlight, and will perform best in a bright, sunny location that receives 4-6 hours of sunlight per day. A windowsill or position with sunny southern exposure is ideal.
If your succulent is getting leggy or leaning to one side, it is stretching for sunlight. Move it to a brighter location and rotate your plant regularly to ensure even growth.
Succulents are drought-tolerant, and prefer to dry out in between waterings.
Feed your Succulent once per month at half strength when it is actively growing. Reduce frequency of fertilization in the winter months.
Protect furniture when watering & fertilizing.
Succulents grow best in a Cactus & Succulent Soil Mix or in all-purpose potting mix with added sand and perlite to ensure sharp drainage.
