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

I have a hole in my peanut cactus. I just noticed a small hole on one of the offshoots. No sign of overwatering (I wait til COMPLETELY dry then bottom water) and I checked thoroughly and no sign of bugs. Any theories are much appreciated. Thank you.

Repot?? Hello! I was gifted this cactus about a year ago. I think it is time to repot her. She is an indoor cactus, what type of soil should I repot her with? I’ve seen so many suggestions about adding rocks
-
Since I got it, no thriving at all part of it died, should I fertilize it? Put it where it gets more sun 🌞

Any help with what I think is a #PeanutCactus ? Repotting to add support - super floppy and grows fast. #greg couldn’t identify him.

Happy Friday #GregGang 😎🌿 I’m looking forward to this 3-day weekend. I did some repotting/upgrading today, two of them were sick not to long ago but seem to be bouncing back now, thank the Plant Gods! 🤭 1. Kiwi Aeonium, moved from a 3 inch glazed clay pot to a 5 inch terracotta pot, I also moved it back outside in my screened in porch. 2. Pearl Echeveria, recently was chopped and propped after it got to much rain & rotted, I was able to re-root & it’s now taking well to being back In a pot & back outside, It’s now in a 3 inch glazed clay pot. 3. Graptoveria Titubans Variegata, this one was also chopped & propped after its stem rotted & it flopped over after a lot of rain, I re-rooted under grow lights, put it in a 1 inch terracotta pot till it had enough roots to be moved into a 3 inch terracotta pot. It was also moved back outdoors onto my shaded porch as well. 4. Echeveria Compressicaulis, moved this up to a 3.5 inch terracotta pot & also moved to an area with more shade instead of direct sun all day. 5. Peanut Cactus, this cutie was actually repotted last week, into a 3.5 inch terracotta pot, its babies are getting so big, it only was one piece when I got it almost a year ago, (it had no pups/arms). This one has become one of my favorites. #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #GrowingSuccs #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #SuccerForSucculents #Echeveria #Graptoveria #CactusClique #Cactus #Cacti #PeanutCactus #Aeonium #KiwiAeonium #repotting #repotted #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PropagationStation #Propagation
