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

Anyone know what type of cactus this is? The tag it came with just says "rare cactus" and blue myrtle cactus doesn't look like it matches.

Happy #FreshLeafFriday everyone 🌿 Today I went my favorite locally owned nursery, I went because I’m already having *cringe* FUNGUS KNATS 😫 … I haven’t even moved my plants inside yet is the worst part. It’s just my props that are inside on my plant shelf right now. Anyways I went looking for some sticky traps that you can put in your pots. My grandma gave me one a few months back & it seems to have caught a lot of knats, etc. I have been trying to find more so I could put them in my other pots indoors, but couldn’t seem to find them at Home Depot or Walmart. It came with 24 but they were $13.99! 😳 I’m almost ashamed to say that I spent that much on them, however I’m used to the this nursery being a bit pricy (most locally owned places tend to be a bit more expensive then big box stores). Since I couldn’t find them anywhere else & it was an emergency I’m not too upset about the price. 😬 I didn’t end up coming home with any new plants today, *pats self on back* (it was only because they don’t carry many succulents during this time of year). But I did get a planter & some premade gritty cactus mix… the soil was also RIDICULOUSLY expensive for the amount I got.. (21.99 for 2.2 lbs) it is very gritty & looks like a good quality mix. Since I’ve recently been more interested in cacti than usual, I decided to get this instead of the premade gritty succulent mix they had. Although I know the basic care for cacti, I still have trouble with them sometimes, they will be fine & then they will just die on me or just not grow, idk if they go dormant or what. There are so many little things about every type of cactus they are very specific as far as care goes etc. anyways my point is hoping this soil mix will keep them happy & prevent rot or overwatering. I used the new soil mix in my new pot with one of my new cactuses I got the other day, I also put a sedeveria ‘Spring Jade’ & a little piece of sedum in the middle. I also moved my palm in it’s permanent spot as of right now, on my screened in porch, I don’t know much about these, I’m not even really sure what type of palm it is.. any tips are appreciated Sorry for the super long post 🫣 #PlantAddict #CactusClique #Cacti #Cactus #SoilMix #grittymix #fungusgnats #PestControl #SucculentLove #SucculentSquad #Succulents #Succulent #cacticollect #PestControl #MyLocalPlantShop #Sedeveria #Sedum #planters #succulentarrangements #Palms

Scale or something else?? Hello everybody! I got a boobie cactus pretty recently, and I noticed these odd spots on it, it dos seem like they’ve been spreading too. I do not know what the issue is, it is definitely not watering. Please help! #BoobieCactus

My cactus came with it woven together and a piece of ribbon tied at the top to keep it together. The plant doesn't seem to be growing since I got it. Should I take that tie off or leave it on New small shoot that came up longer than main plant #BlueMyrtleCactus

Not a question: I’m so proud of my plant! #CrestedBlueFlame it’s got lots of twisty parts but is skinny. I had to bring it inside bc it’s been raining so much and I didn’t want my precious to rot like my totem cactus.

Hi, I’m a new plant dad! I recently bought a #bluecandlecactus and got them wrapped in newspaper, without any soil. I potted them in cactus/porous soil as soon as it was delivered. I really don’t pay attention but I think after a month i saw this brown part at the bottom of the stem and would like to know if I should be concerned about it. I would appreciate any feedback, thanks
