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

The roots of this plant seems to be dying and brown, but the ends are still perky and lively! What can I do to help? #CreepingInchPlant

First time propagating 😅 These are my turtle vine cuttings I saved and propagated just before my grocery store rescue plant passed. The four cuttings have tripled in size and all have roots, but I don’t know how to move them to soil 😭 their roots are very thin and fragile (I worry I’ll break them every time I change the water!!) but they have already been in the water for months and I worry they will eventually rot.. does anyone know when is the right time to move them and how? Thanks!

My Creeping Inch plant is not doing well. I’ve tried everything from mowing it closer to the window, repotting it, and holding off on the watering. Nothing seems to work. Any advice is greatly appreciated. #CreepingInchPlant

I received this guy as a gift. He is currently living in one of those decorative bowls with a cork lid with a hole in the center for the plant. I am anxious to know if this is acceptable or should I put him in a pot with soil. #BasketPlant

Potted my turtle vine props! This is my first time propagating I really hope they make it 😓 also photos of the pots I paintedd the other two are going to hold my aloe’s pups :)

Should I take the stems out that the top leaves broke off of? It has babies attached so I guess I should just prop those but yeah the empty stems should I just remove them from the pot? #BasketPlant

It’s dying 😭 I just barely saved this rescue turtle vine through some props—I potted them in soil a couple weeks ago and now it looks like they’re shriveling at the bottom 😢 how can i save the plant again?! Its about 6 feet from a west facing window and I kept the soil evenly moist for quite a while to get the plant used to not being in water.
