⚠️ Common Issues and Solutions

  • Thinning at the base: Natural in trailing plants. Trim to encourage new growth
  • Yellow leaves: Overwatering! Reduce water and check drainage
  • Root rot: Poor drainage. Improve drainage or replace soil
  • Aphids: Check under leaves. Treat with potassium soap

Pro Tip

The secret to intense silver color? Full sun! In shade, the color turns greenish-gray. Preventing thinning: Trim the ends every few weeks - it encourages dense growth from the base. Summer: Although drought resistant, on extremely hot days check moisture daily - it dries out quickly in pots! Winning combination: 'Silver Falls' + 'Emerald Falls' = spectacular silver-green combo in the same basket! Propagation: Stem cuttings root easily - just plant a piece of stem in moist soil.
