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

The Bear Pot/Lifesaver Cactus saga is finally over! My dad was able to drill a drainage hole into the bottom of the bear pot yesterday. The hole isn't perfectly centered. He tried, but it was sooooo difficult to get the hole started that it got off center haha. I'm not sure what kind of tough clay this thing is made out of 😹 Either way, I'm just thankful there's drainage now! When I dumped out the old soil, I noticed they had put a bunch of pebbles at the bottom of the pot. I'm so glad I didn't water this poor thing. He was due for a watering yesterday so that's when we made the hole, repotted in fresh succulent soil, and watered with SuperThrive-infused water to prevent shock. He's already looking perkier! ☺️ #SuccerForSucculents #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #LifesaverCactus #CactusClique #Cactus #CarrionFlower #potheads #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PLANTMAFIA

Sabrina finally bloomed today, after dropping to freezing temps, I decided to stick her under the purple and red grow lights, because i heard that encourages flowering/fruit. The bloom was clearly about to bloom I was getting impatient… but my mom said this “Kaitlyn that’s like someone telling YOU to bloom!” 🤭🤷🏻♀️ & that made me think… so here she is now all pretty and looking like SHE MIGHT just eat me.. she has two other baby blooms that are pictured with the flower. Hope you guys enjoy ! #BloomingSuccs #HappyPlants #SucculentLove #LifesaverCactus #Zebrina #CactusClique #SucculentSquad #FreshLeafFriday
