    Features

    ‘Frosted Terra’ is a close cousin to other “inch plants” in the Tradescantia family, and equally easy-to-grow. It features lanceolate, succulent leaves that are edged in long, white hairs, giving it a touchably soft, frosted appearance. One look and you’ll be able to surmise why this plant has also earned the nickname “kitten ears”! With a spreading, trailing habit, ‘Frosted Terra’ inches along and makes an adorable addition to any container that it can spill out of.

    Maintenance Notes: 
    • For optimal performance, keep your Succulent at 60-85°F (15-29°C). 
    • Succulents love sunlight, and will perform best in a bright, sunny location that receives 4-6 hours of sunlight per day.  A windowsill or position with sunny southern exposure is ideal. 
    • If your succulent is getting leggy or leaning to one side, it is stretching for sunlight. Move it to a brighter location and rotate your plant regularly to ensure even growth.
    • Succulents are drought-tolerant, and prefer to dry out in between waterings. 
    • Feed your Succulent once per month at half strength when it is actively growing. Reduce frequency of fertilization in the winter months. 
    • Protect furniture when watering & fertilizing.
    • Succulents grow best in a Cactus & Succulent Soil Mix or in all-purpose potting mix with added sand and perlite to ensure sharp drainage.
