Care Tips for Corpuscularia Lehmannii (Ice Plant) Non-Variegated:

1. Sunlight Requirements:
   Ice Plants thrive in bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. Place them in a spot that gets several hours of light each day to ensure their best growth.
2. Watering:
   Like most succulents, the Corpuscularia Lehmannii requires minimal watering. Water it thoroughly but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
3. Soil:
   Well-draining soil is essential for the Ice Plant. Use a cactus or succulent mix, or add sand or perlite to your regular potting soil to improve drainage.
4. Temperature and Humidity:
   This succulent prefers warmer temperatures and low humidity levels. Avoid placing it in a spot where temperatures drop below 10°C (50°F). It’s perfect for areas with dry climates.
5. Fertilizing:
   Feed your Ice Plant with a balanced, diluted fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid over-fertilizing as this can harm the plant.
6. Repotting:
   Repot the plant every 1-2 years to refresh the soil and promote healthy growth. Choose a pot that’s just slightly larger than the current one to prevent root rot.
7. Pests:
   While relatively pest-resistant, check for common succulent pests like aphids or mealybugs. Use insecticidal soap or a natural remedy if pests are spotted.
8. Pruning:
   Remove any dead or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking tidy. Pruning also helps promote better air circulation and encourages new growth.

The Corpuscularia Lehmannii is an incredibly resilient and attractive plant that can thrive with little care. Its unique, silvery-green leaves and delicate flowers make it a great addition to any plant collection. Perfect for sunny windowsills, office desks, or even outdoor rock gardens, this plant will grow with minimal effort and continue to shine in your space.
