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

Holy Chop!! After a few years I decided to completely chop back this plant. I do yearly trims to maintain it and clear out any dead leaves etc. It was thinning on the top and so I decided to completely chop it to the rim of the pot. This plant had grown out to 6-7 feet long and every year I trim back to about 2 feet long. This December I cut it alllll off and this is its progress report! Two months later and it’s filling up nicely!! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #BeforeAndAfter #OutdoorGrowing #PlantLove #MezooTrailingRed #julesplants

Got scared by a little friend today nearly jumped out at me while I was watering the plants I have outdoors. I am going to let it keep my babies safe and have a home for as long as it needs. 🤍🤍 Can you see who my friend is? I suppose I’ll figure out a name for it! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #julesplants #SucculentLove

My plant looks incredibly sad The plant is looking worse and worse. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Am I giving it too much or too little water? Is it the Sun? Someone please help!

Check out this color and size difference of the same plant. They are within 5 feet of each other, but one gets a couple extra hours of sun. This has been one of my favorite plants this year and I have 4 others in and outside the house. #PlantCompare #HappyPlants #PlantAddict #SucculentLove #BotanicalBeeps
