Dichondra 'Silver Falls' is a stunning and versatile trailing plant prized for its silvery, cascading foliage. With its delicate, rounded leaves and trailing habit, it creates an elegant, waterfall-like effect when grown in hanging baskets, containers, or as a ground cover.
Cultivating Dichondra 'Silver Falls' requires a few key considerations:
1. **Light**: Provide bright, indirect light for optimal growth. While it can tolerate some shade, it thrives in full sun to partial shade.
2. **Soil**: Well-draining soil is essential to prevent root rot. A mix of potting soil and perlite or sand works well.
3. **Watering**: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between watering sessions. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
4. **Temperature**: Dichondra 'Silver Falls' prefers moderate temperatures and does best in zones 10-11, but it can be grown as an annual in cooler climates.
5. **Fertilization**: Feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and foliage color.
6. **Pruning**: Trim back any leggy growth to encourage bushiness and maintain its trailing habit. Pinching off the tips periodically can also help promote branching.
7. **Propagation**: Propagate by stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Simply place the cuttings in moist soil or water until roots develop.
Overall, Dichondra 'Silver Falls' is a low-maintenance plant that adds a touch of elegance to any garden or indoor space with its unique trailing foliage and silvery sheen.
