How to fertilize Green Sea Fingers

Nutrient, fertilizer, and repotting needs for Green Sea Fingers: 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 Green Sea Fingers after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Do I need to fertilize a succulent garden pot? Hi. I'm new here and to plants. I saw this adorable little baby Groot planter and bought it. He came with instructions and everything. I've managed to not kill everything for about 2 months. He has #BlueEchevaria, #BurrosTail, #FalseSolomansSeal, #PandaPlant, #GreenSeaFingers, #StringOfButtons, and #GollumJade. He also had #StringOfPearls, but they failed. I think they came out of the soil when the cat whacked them. I'd like to replace them. This is a 3-inch plastic pot, no real drainage, with succulent soil. I water the whole thing (36 ml per instructions) every 2 weeks. I have a solid wall on the sunny side of the house, so I have a grow light on him for 3 hours a day. #Fertilize #Succulents
