Dorotheanthus bellidiformis 'Mezoo™ Red'

Dorotheanthus bellidiformis 'Mezoo™ Red' (also known as Mezoo Trailing Red or Livingstone Daisy Red) is a spectacular trailing succulent plant native to South Africa. It is one of the most appreciated varieties of "ice plant" due to its intense red flowers and decorative leaves.

The plant forms low, trailing clumps with succulent, ovate, glossy green-silver leaves edged in creamy white. The flowers are small, daisy-shaped, with a bright and vibrant red color and a yellow center. They fully open only in strong sunlight and close in the evening or on cloudy days, creating a very attractive effect.

Main features:

• Intense red daisy-shaped flowers
• Succulent green leaves with creamy-silver edges
• Trailing habit, ideal for hanging baskets and planters
• Excellent heat and drought tolerance (once established)
• Size: 15–25 cm tall, spreads 30–60 cm

Easy care:

• Light: full sun (minimum 6–8 hours/day) – blooms abundantly only in strong sunlight
• Temperature: warm. Does not tolerate temperatures below 5–7°C long-term (grown as an annual or overwintered indoors)
• Watering: moderate – allow the substrate to dry well between waterings (very drought tolerant)
• Humidity: medium (tolerates dry air well)
• Substrate: very well-drained, mineral-based

Recommended substrate: For optimal growth and to prevent root rot, we recommend Secret Garden Professional Substrate for cacti, succulents, and Adenium – SG Mix. → Professional substrate for cacti, succulents, and Adenium - Secret Garden

This substrate offers excellent drainage and an airy structure, perfect for succulents like Mezoo.

Uses: Excellent for hanging baskets, planters, terraces, balconies, rock gardens, or as ground cover in very sunny areas. The vibrant red flowers bring intense color throughout summer and autumn.

Note: The plant is sensitive to overwatering. Excess watering is the main cause of loss. In shade or insufficient light, flowers open little or not at all.

A very resilient, decorative, and easy-to-maintain plant, perfect for those who want intense color with minimal effort!
