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

Hi everyone! Greg has labeled this plant as a ponytail palm but I’m sure it’s not. Does anyone happen to know what he is? He came unlabeled at the store. #PonytailPalm #WhatPlantIsThis #Spring

I have this Spiralis and it's been okay since I've had it for about 6 months. I'd say a 6.5/10. What do I do with the dead "leaves"? My young sons helped me "prune" the plant and they cut off a LOT of spirals. Now it's looking really rough. Do y'all have any suggestion for me?

How do y'all care for your corkscrews? People seem to think you should keep them waterlogged because they are "bog plants", but in my experience they hate that. Mine only gets watered when it rains and is kept in a pot with drainage holes.. #corkscrewrush

They're kinda blurry coz I'm a bit shaky today but I figured I'd share some #rootporn with y'all... Repotted/split River Song into three separate pots cuz last year upgrading the whole plant into a bigger pot didn't work out too well. She expanded and became root bound within the first two months... Despite being a bog plant she freakin loves SoCal apparently.

Last fall I put TuffBoi, Porch Baby, and River Song outside and said "adapt or die!" They had a pretty rough go of it for a while but in the end they did adapt. They still struggle if I forget to rotate them often enough and occasionally we deal with buggies... (River has also recently gotten pretty crispy looking but I'm hoping she'll get better once we hit rainy season...) Anyhow, I've basically given up on the "scale babies" and decided they can also either adapt or die. Hoping for "adapt" but we'll see... They're several feet away from the others so hopefully if there are any bugs left on them (I don't think there are but idk) it will be alright... Also I just thought my chick n hens (no name yet) would be happier out there than in my living room where it gets zero direct light...

Advice for new plant mum! Hi All! I'm new to the app (and to taking plants in), and I'm just looking for some advice! Two of my plants aren't doing bad (but any caring tips or tricks will still be appreciated), and I couldn't resist the third as she just looks so sad! Given them all a good water as they were looking dry and I've tried to do some research but I thought I'd try a community who knows what they're doing. TIA🥰 #new #advice #nursebacktohealth #corkscrewrush #dieffenbachiasterling
