How to fertilize Barberton Senecio
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 Barberton Senecio after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Hello guys! I’ve been having a super hectic past few days, my great grandma is in hospice so a couple of things have been neglected lately to say the least… including myself & plants. 🤷🏻♀️ a couple got zapped by the cold so I’ve been a little upset this morning.. On a better note, I planted my last plant from my birthday haul. •‘Kleinia Stapeliiformis’ also known as ‘pickle plant’. I love how they look in my new pot(s) I got from #TheNextGardener 🌈 they are so cute, I love the pastel glaze. looks like you could eat it 😆 🍭 It’s a set, the other one has purple instead of yellow. •Echeveria Dusty Rose 🌸 she was having a rough start at first but she’s finally settling in her pot, & putting off new growth! •Kyoto is still blooming, and has grown also! I can’t believe all the blooms she keeps putting off. • Lastly I’m super proud of how well my ‘Cotelydon White Sprite’ has done, 🤍 she is putting off all types of new growth, I will have to post more pics in another post, cause this one doesn’t do her justice! #NewGrowth #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #GrowLights #HappyPlants #Kleinia #PicklePlant #Echeveria #Cotyledon

Pickle Plant Update 🥒 🌱🪴✨ They are still doing really great, the tallest pickle has gotten too tall to keep them on the shelf.l I’ve kept them on, without it getting sunburnt. it’s grown so tall it won’t fit on the shelf without sticking it between my grow lights. but if I continue to keep it there I’m thinking it will get sunburned being to close to the intense lighting. So I will have to move this baby to an area with more space! 🤗 I’m so impressed with this plant, it was half the size when I got it, and it was my first plant I had ever received bare roots from an online order. Although not all the plants in this order made it, I have atleast 5 that thrived once they got used to their new home. (: hope you guys are having a good weekend! #PicklePlant #NewGrowth #GrowingSuccs #GrowLights #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy
