If the Ice Plant is planted near the coast, the plant requires no water. If the Ice Plant is planted inland, the plant requires some water. Although these plants are known for their drought resistance, they do best with rich and deep, well-draining soils. The use of a gravel mulch promotes dryness around the crown of this plant. During hot summer months, providing regular water can promote more vigorous growth; however, these plants can get by with just enough water to survive. As winter approaches and temperatures cool, slow down the irrigation frequency.
