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

The weekend is sadly coming to an end.. 😭 but I will say I had a good weekend and stayed pretty busy 👏🏻 I also did lots of plant chores & related activities. Got new pots & much needed dirt, I got to replant more than a few plants that were due for repots, & the rain took care of my watering for the next week or so. Here are some pics from my northwest window, which I call my haworthia window. It holds all of my haworthia & similar plants like my alworthia, gasteraloe hybrids, & aloes even an Adromischus. Generally I just feel like haworthia are so underrated as far as an easy plant/easy succulent. There are so many different types, and they can vary so much from plant to plant. Anyways enough of my biased Haworthia rant 😆 1. Variegated zebra plant 2. Star cactus 3. Gasteraloe ‘Apollo’ 4. Adromischus Rupicola 5. ‘Firebird aloe’ (repotted) #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #SuccerForSucculents #PlantCorner #Haworthia #HaworthiaHangout #Adromischus #AloeVera #Gasteraloe #succsunday #HappyPlants #PlantLove #Variegated #Indoorplants #StarCactus

Accidentally pulled a “baby” off I pulled a stem/leaf (idk what the proper name is) because the tip was wrinkled and looked as if it was dying. I usually will pull them off when they shrivel so it doesn’t take energy from the rest of the plant. When I pulled this one off it had a baby plant on it which I didn’t see prior :( I have never propagated before, can someone advise me how to save this little guy?

I've just brought this new plant, should I wait until spring to plant it properly as it has a few babies I could propergate too. Thanks 💚 #LizardTail

Started cute, turning ugly I bought my Flow 2 years ago and it was pretty picturesque. The leaves were plump, shorter and overall more compacted. The new leaves have gradually been growing longer and thinner, and are much lighter in color than when I first got it. It gets direct sunlight about 3 hours a day and indirect 5-6 hours the rest of the day. Is it supposed to look so flimsy as it grows older?

Well hello babies!👶🌱🌱🌱 Spiky has finally been separated from his kids, well overdue😆 And got himself a little trim. 13 babies he had 👀 Now I'm just trying to make a better soil for him and his kids so we don't get more of those ugly brown spots😅 And now I know he likes it a little cooler in winter to get fat☺️ But I don't dare to cut all of his spiny growth off yet, maybe next time 🤔 #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantbabies #babyplants #whatthesuccwednesday #succulentsquad #succulentlove #freshleaffriday #newgrowth #adhdplantlovers

Will this leaf reopen? Vera, who was my first plant, got a little sick as I learned how to care for plants. She's getting better and is beautiful again, but will this leaf uncurl? It curled when she got overwatered. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #succulentlove #succulentsquad

What's wrong with my Gasteraloe? I keep her in low light for 6+ hours a day, and I'm seeing the bottom of her leaves beginning to look yellow and squishy. I just repotted to a pot with drainage and looked at the roots, and it didn't seem that there was any rot. Her soil has really good drainage as far as I can see. What's going on? #gasteraloe #gasteria #succulentsquad #succulentlove

Just replaced Vera's decorative moss with soil! She should be happier now.
-
Is this sunburn or sun stress? I was looking at Vera today (I've had her for maybe a month or less), and I saw the part of her that gets the most sun was tinted brown. What is this? The leaves still feel the same as the green ones, so I'm thinking it may be sun stress, but I'm still unsure.

Any advice for getting cats to stop eating my plants? Not sure if this one will recover.
