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

I changed my pot on this crown of thorns because it didn’t have drainage, and I put it back in its same spot 3 days later it looks like this.. what happened?

Crumpled leaves on poinsettia? I have some leaves on my poinsettia that look all crumpled? Could it be too much/little water or too close to the window? Or maybe something else? Not all the leaves are like this but there are a few scattered through the plant? It’s currently 4 years old since I bought it and had a ‘hard’ cut back 2 years ago. Thank you for any advice!

Rescue tips? I got this corn cob cactus a few days ago and he’s looking a little rough. Any tips to help breathe life into him? i’m also new to the plant world so all i’ve done is repotted him into a slightly bigger plastic pot with drainage holes. thinking about moving him to a larger terracotta pot, but i don’t know what would be a good size?

Is this normal? Chewie was thriving and overnight turned all yellow, I though I did something wrong but when checking on him today noticed he has a lot of new growth? Is this normal? lol

Inherited this firesticks from my ex. She spends her winters in the basement to keep my pets safe so she looks sad as she just got back outside. Shes potted and desperately needs to be thinned or cut back but frankly I’m afraid to do that due to the sap. Any tips?? #SucculentLove
