Ice Plant Aquarium Garden


September 4th, 2020 
I got a cutting of an Ice plant succulent, scientific name Delosperma. 


Buy Ice Plant Succulent on Amazon (paid link):


Clean the plant and remove dry leaves. 
The cutting has flower buds. 

I want to check if this Ice plant succulent cutting would grow in water. 
Trim the stem to a desirable length.


 Let's put this cutting in one of my 1 liter aquarium gardens with snails and scuds. 



Time-lapse recording is the best way to watch blooming flowers. 
Let's watch it together! 

Two blooms open on the same day. 

Each flower opens and closes on the same day. 


The plant produces many more blooms in the following week. 





Ice plant did not grow in water the way some other succulents grow all year around. 
Nevertheless, I enjoyed the bloom and will try it again!
 Have fun and happy aquarium gardens :)
