Rock Candytuft thrives in full sun and prefers moderate temperatures. It is relatively drought-tolerant and should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. The plant does well in average humidity and can tolerate a range of temperatures, making it easy to care for.Bodem
Iberis saxatilis prefers well-draining soil, ideally a loamy mix. It can tolerate poor soil conditions but thrives best in moderately fertile soil. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.Kunstmest
Fertilize Rock Candytuft with a balanced fertilizer, such as 5-10-10, in early spring before new growth begins. This will help promote healthy blooms and foliage. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.Verpotten

Iberis saxatilis can be propagated by seed, cuttings, or division. The best time to propagate is in late spring or early summer. For cuttings, take a 3-4 inch stem cutting, remove the lower leaves, and plant in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the soil moist until roots develop.Snoeien
Pruning is beneficial for maintaining the plant's shape and encouraging new growth. Prune back the stems after flowering to prevent the plant from becoming leggy. Remove any dead or damaged stems to keep the plant healthy.Toxiciteit
Iberis saxatilis is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. It is generally considered safe to grow in gardens where pets and children are present.Aanvullend
