How to care Dichondra Silver falls to keep it look nice?
Um... I would say if you follow all of the list on top, I think you can make your silver falls look really nice. but if I add little bit more information... when you grow silver falls, you will face the situation either the foliage is drying out or stem and foliage is turning to black.
When it looks drying out, it needs to be more water, so give them enough water. however, if the soil is too dried, sink the plant with pot in water for a while until its all wet.
On the other hand, if the plant is turning to black? it means, your plant got too much water and starts to rotting out. in that case, if you give them water rarely, it will be fine.
