Tongue Leaf Ice PlantGlottiphyllum linguiforme

Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of rot. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy to prevent root rot.

Pruning is generally not required for Glottiphyllum linguiforme. If any leaves become damaged or discolored, they can be carefully removed at the base using a clean knife or scissors.

This helps maintain the plant's tidy appearance.

Propagate by leaf cuttings or offsets. Allow cuttings or offsets to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Keep slightly moist until roots form, then treat as an adult plant.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Use a gritty, well-draining soil mix. Repot in spring, before the active growing season begins. Ensure the new pot has drainage holes.
