care tips
You won't need to bother watering Mother-in-law's Cushion during the winter months when it's outside in the garden. In a pot it might need some watering only when it didn't rain for more than 2 weeks. Start watering it again in late February or early March, but only when the soil feels completely dry to the touch. Give it a good soaking and then wait until it needs it again. After December, you can stop watering altogether, as the plant will be dormant by then and won't require much moisture. Easy!
