These stunning plants are easy to recognize because of their tight rosettes and plump, attractive foliage, which may be tinted red or pink and may even glow in the right light conditions.
So, if you want a beautiful moonflower, provide them with plenty of bright, indirect light all year round.
If grown indoors, place your snowdrop where it will receive lots of sunlight.
Ideally, the best place to display them is near a south- or west-facing window, as these two locations usually provide more light than a north- or east-facing window.
But if that's not an option, place them near the windows with the most light.
You might also consider placing them under a table or desk lamp that's on all day.
This should prevent the plant from opening its rosettes and stretching forms due to the lack of light.
Stonecrops can also be grown outdoors, especially in the summer.
Just be sure to avoid sudden changes in light and strong afternoon sunlight, as these are too harsh for them and can lead to sunburn on their leaves.
Generally, snowdrops need at least six hours of bright light in the winter, and at least eight to twelve hours a day in the spring and summer.
This should help them keep their rosettes tight and, at the same time, show their true leaf color.
Friendly Tip:
Succulents tend to grow toward a light source.
So to keep your crescents symmetrical, it is recommended to turn the pot at least once or twice a week.
If your crescent starts to stretch, go ahead and plant it, then cut off the top in the spring to allow it to root and become a new rose knot.
2. Watering
Watering depends on the temperature and environmental conditions around the plant.
To give you a rough guide, keep your moon snow potting mix slightly moist from spring to summer, this can be achieved by giving them one deep and regular watering, leaving the soil almost dry in between.
On the other hand, from late fall to winter, lithops can't soak for too long, so water them sparingly and let the soil dry out completely before giving them a drink.
Ideally, succulents can be watered once a week for up to 10 days.
However, this still depends on the size of your plants and pots, so it's recommended to check the soil before watering to make sure.
You can use a hydrometer or your finger to feel how dry your plant's soil is.
Remember, poor watering habits are the number one reason you'll experience problems with this plant, so be sure to keep a close eye on them and make adjustments as necessary.
3. Temperature
Most stonecrops are non-hardy succulents and can't survive cold temperatures.
They prefer temperatures between 18 and 21 degrees Fahrenheit and do not like temperatures below 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
Succulent Plants Hardy Zones
So these fresh, succulent plants can be grown outdoors in the South without worry.
In other regions, we highly recommend growing moon snowdrops as houseplants, especially during the colder months, and gradually moving them outside once the threat of frost has passed.
4. Soil
Like any other succulent, the stonewort needs well-drained, rapidly drying soil to prevent moisture from rotting the roots.
You can use a good quality potting mix for cacti and succulents or create your own soil mix with perlite.
5. Fertilizer
Moonflowers rarely need to be fertilized.
But if you want to feed them occasionally, use a slow-release fertilizer or a water-soluble mix at about half the recommended amount in early spring.
