How to fertilize Cremnosedum 'Crocodile'

Nutrient, fertilizer, and repotting needs for Cremnosedum 'Crocodile': repot after 2X growth

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 Cremnosedum 'Crocodile' after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Any tips on repotting? One of my pride and joys, any tips on how to repot without losing a bunch of leaves? UPDATE: only wanted to repot because my kitten was messing with it and I have a bunch of leaves that fell off. I wanted to throw them in the current pot but there's no room, I can't even see the soil. I'm already planning on making another plant for a friend! I just wanted my plant to be more full :-) Added some additional pictures as well #HappyPlants #SucculentSquad #repotting #repottinghelp
