To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Aleksandrit after it doubles in size or once a yearâwhichever comes first.

Aleksandrit prefers for the soil to dry out between waterings and should be watered regularly. Use our water calculator to personalize watering recommendations to your environment or download Greg for more advanced recommendations for all of your plants.

Soil
Aleksandrit is very sensitive to dry soil, so choose a potting soil that retains moisture. A good soil will still drain well and contain lots of organic matter such as coco coir or sphagnum moss.
Fertilizer
Aleksandrit grows very slowly and doesnât require added fertilizer. Replacing your plantâs potting soil once a year should provide them with more than enough nutrition. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!
