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

Adopted a new plant 💚 Hi community 👋 Joyful to share I adopted a "Nochebuena" ☺️ It was my very first plant a year ago but it only lasted half year 🥲🥹 This is my 2nd try 🙆, hope I can give it a peacefully and happy life 🙂↕️ I'm still learning about plants 🧐 and since the dead of my old "Nochebuena" I've been more in love with them 💚🌱 My 13 plants are really its legacy 💪 My new plant is pretty dusty, any advice on how I can clean its leaves? I've heard milk with water does the trick 🤔 #Euphorbia #plantsmakepeoplehappy #happyplants #plantaddict #greggang #greggerssupportinggreggers

My plants just grow straight up, one is taller than me. I have found pruning leaves a permanent scar. How do you get them to be more bushy? #Euphorbiabicompacta #Euphorbia
