x Semponium 'Mrs Frosty' quick care tips

Watering

The x Semponium 'Mrs Frosty' would like watering between once and twice per week in the peak growing season. It is advised to reduce watering when plants are dormant due to a heatwave and to significantly reduce/ stop watering when conditions are frosty.

Feeding

x Semponium 'Mrs Frosty' likes to be fed to bring out its best forms and colours. We recommend feeding with a liquid seaweed feed every 2 weeks in the main growing season from April to September. A feed we recommend is the one from our friends at LittleGreenSeaweed.

Ideal soil

x Semponium 'Mrs Frosty' needs free draining soil to thrive. We recommend a mixture of 1/3 John Innes no.2, 1/3 perlite and 1/3 coconut coir. The soil mix we offer here is similar in composition to this.

x Semponium 'Mrs Frosty'

This x Semponium was named 'Mrs Frosty' after gardening legend and TV presenter Adam Frost's wife. This plant's name was decided on our Instagram live with Adam Frost over lockdown. It is a fantastic grower which has elongated spoon-shaped leaves. It has brown flecks that resemble ice crystals. It grows with an attractive green and brown colour which is capable of turning brown/ pink in strong light levels. It can grow to a large size in height and width, 60 x 40cm. It can produce layers of offsets, making this a genuinely different-looking Semponium.
