How to fertilize Large-Leaved Spindle
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 Large-Leaved Spindle after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Hi, Some of my stems and leaves on one side (the direct sun side) have started falling of/ dangling, does this need repotting or maybe sun exposure? Any recommendations appreciated 🙏🏻 #JapaneseSpindle
-
Just wondering what these green/grey bugs are on my plant
-
Is this an infestation or are they little cleaner bugs? There's little bugs on the leaves of my plant and I don't know what they are. They are small and green and there's also white bits that might be bugs or shed I'm not sure.

The leaves are half dry I've had this plant for a year now, and for most of its time, it has been neglected for about 8 months and it was fine. Then when I started taking care of it, meaning changingbits pot, watering it once a week, etc it started to have this #euonymus #leaves #dry

My soil looks like there’s web on it!! Are these spider webs all over on the top layer of my soil?? How can I remove it?
-
Hey Greg friends, can anyone tell me what plant this is? I saw it on a walk, so I picked a stem and propagated it, then I planted it in soil and perlite. It's doing pretty well and growing but I have no clue what it could be.
