How to fertilize Thaumatophyllum spruceanum
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

Today I introduce Valeria my Philodendron Goldeii into the Oasis. She’s still young. But look at the way she carries those leaves! 🙃 #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #HappyPlants #FitSedum #CarolinesWinterGarden #CentralTexasGang #SanAntonioGregGang

She's good, but could she be great? This plug from #gabriellaplants started out with 5 leaves. Lost the first 3 from shock or sunburn in the first month. Now I've got her in the mid/low light #alocasiacorner. Seems like she should have put out a new leaf by now. Are #thaumatophyllumspruceanum just slow growers? Thanks #greggers ✌🏾 #philoflock #happyplants

Help, my plant is dying #ThaumatophyllumSpruceanum I got it about a month ago. It lost one leaf already. At the time it’s still was dry, so I changed the watering amount. But it’s like the other leaves are curling and drying tips. Any suggestions?

Captain Sol was given to me by a good friend that had him in her massage studio, but then moved out of the building and had to get rid of most of the plants she had in there. This is just after I brought him home and found him a suitably sunny spot. He's still there today, happy as can be! #happyplants #plantaddict #plantsmakepeoplehappy
