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

Can't remember if it was @dreamlettuce or @strawberrymoon who posted about smelling their succs like forever ago, but today as I was tending to my #iceplant I noticed she's started smelling really sweet like fruit! Couldn't quite place which fruit tho... I have no idea what figs smell like, so maybe it was figs. She is called a #hottentotfig after all... Lol 🤔🤷 #succulentsquad #succulentlove #whatthesuccwednesday #carpobrotusedulis #sourfig #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #newgrowth #socalgreg #socalsucculents #wickedvalkyrie
