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

Update on my Gibbaeum dispar October 6th seedlings. I'm really not prepared for this year-long undertaking, but it's still a rad photo opp, right? (How many people say that about having a child LOL?) #succulentsquad

These are sevenish weeks. I'm keeping them out of the sun, misting every several days if needed. I'm not looking forward to the next step, as it's going to require a fully new growing area - note where I have them now... Again, I took these from seed pods left on a Gibbaeum dispar I ordered online this year. I did all the extraction crud but am still unsure which of all these weird sucs are self-pollinating, so I went with it. #succulentsquad

#succulentsquad #succulentsquad This plant had some full seed pods when I got it. I'm good with the extraction (dry, soak, dry, dry), decent with the potting (coir, perlite, vermiculite on top), but the 3-month mark is where I fail at seedlings. Let's see what happens cuz this would be a nice, niche win. Pictured also is my first Gibbaeum dispar. Note how compact it turned - the base is pretty much a mini tree trunk.
