🪴 Nutrients

How to fertilize Faucaria felina

Nutrient, fertilizer, and repotting needs for Faucaria felina: repot after 2X growth

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.

To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Faucaria felina after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Some plant updates 😊🌱 All the plants pictured except for the airplant, have been treated with arber fungicide & insecticide 🧪 they all have been noticeably healthier and stronger, I’ve had less leaf drop, and new growth! Some of the plants picture like the Echeveria Dusty Rose (1), and Echeveria cubic ice (3), have been dropping leaves, along with yellowing. There could be a few causes for this, but after my fungus knat issue im super paranoid and have since then treated all my plants with a mixture of both insecticide & fungicide. I’m glad they are responding well, and even my tiger jaws from last week has some mite issue that has magically disappeared! 🤩✨ I really recommend these two products for anyone having plant issues, this combo specifically. On arbers website they have a package that comes with both the insecticide&fungicide for a better deal, and they work perfect preventing both fungal issues caused by bugs, and work separately to prevent other issues. #ArberBioFungicide #ArberBioInsecticide #NewGrowth #HappyPlants #SucculentLove #PestControl #SucculentSquad #Succulents #Echeveria #Haworthia #AirPlant #Faucaria #tigerjaws
