Mesembryanthemum cordifolium

When looking at the array of houseplants available, this Baby Sunrose is often overlooked when it's bare of flowers. Yes, it has lovely succulent-like leaves but frankly, they're not especially eye-catching. Just give it time, and those stems will start trailing over the sides of its pot, with cute-as-a-button red/pink iceplant-like flowers popping up along the way. Baby Sunrose can handle the outdoor garden in the summer but needs to come indoors when the temps drop in the fall. As a full-time indoor resident, it will need a very well-lit exposure, and water thoroughly only when the top inch of soil is dry.
