How to fertilize Green Coral Cactus
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 Green Coral Cactus after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Succulent Cactus help #greencoralcactus Someone please I know this is a succulent but unsure how to remove the bad parts and help it? 🤞 I'm unsure really where to start and there are no videos on this specific kind

Can someone please help me! My milk tree cactus is not doing good. It is not root rot. Idk if it’s the lighting or being spayed by gnat killer for indoor plants. #Euphorbia

This is my Crown or Queen of Thorns. I’ve done everything I’ve read about on how to take care of it but it continues to drop have yellow leaves and drop leaves. ??? I’m at a loss. I haven’t overwatered either. So I’m not sure what the deal is. Help! #Euphorbia

#TipsandTricks I have developed a little strategy that I hope can help some group plantings succeed. This green coral cactus needs water a bit more often than the other plants in this arrangement. When it’s looking a bit droopy between group waterings I use a syringe to inject a little water (not a full dose) directly into to the soil at the base of the cactus. This keeps the run off to a minimum and helps localize the moisture. I have to be careful and observant with the surrounding plants because the moisture will still spread some, but it’s a lot more controlled this way. #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #succulentsunday #CactusClique #CoPlanting #arrangements #groupplanting

They’ve arrived 😍 Sorry for the terrible pics, but I will take better ones very soon! My white princess has a pink stripe 🥰 The only problems were my perle von Nurburg lost a leaf and looks thirsty (prop time) my Hoya had a bent stem which is already propped lol, this girl has 6 peduncles already 🥹 My begonia escargot is a little crispy on the edges. My euphorbia is perfect!
