Sea FigCarpobrotus edulis

Sea figs are drought-tolerant succulents. Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry, typically every 2-4 weeks during the growing season. Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, which can be detrimental to the plant's health.

Pruning sea figs is primarily for shape and to manage their sprawling habit. Trim back excessive growth after flowering to encourage bushier development and prevent overcrowding.

Remove any dead, damaged, or diseased stems promptly. Pruning can also be used to propagate new plants from cuttings.

Sea figs are easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take cuttings in spring or summer, allow them to callus for a few days, and then plant them in well-draining soil. They root readily and require minimal care.

Seeds can also be sown, but cuttings offer a faster and more reliable method.

Repot sea figs every 2-3 years, or when they become root-bound. Use a gritty, well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues. Repot in spring, before the active growing season begins.
