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

Not to keep posting about Baby Toes, but I had a conversation about this kinda needy plant with someone who runs tours in South Africa. BT has a misting schedule,which totally threw me off as to why. Here is why: "...they get sea mist nearly all year, but it's as you say, but a spritz..." Pics of some in the wild. It's quite different from our lab plants. #succulentsunday #fenestrariarhopalophylla

Baby Toes welfare check Hi everyone! Just wanted to gather some opinions on the state of my baby toes. He’s been growing pretty nicely as of late but I’ve noticed some of the toes have started to flop over and shrivel up. Is this normal? Or can I can doing something different? For context I had repotted him in a cactus mix because it was all I had at the time. I’m just now realizing the pot he’s in isn’t the best at draining, so it could be retaining too much water. But, the soil feels dry and I’ve only watered him once (when I repotted about 2 weeks ago) Let me know what y’all think! #HappyPlants #BabyToes #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #NewPlantMom

Sagging branches =( Help #babytoes ! I recently purchased this guy and he looked well. We're in day 6 of plant quarantine: all new plants get lightly sprayed with neem oil, put in the spare bathroom shower with a grow light, and a closed door. He has been on the other side of the shower out of direct light, and his root system was/has mild moisture from whenever they watered him last (I haven't watered him yet, monitoring the soil). The roots aren't saturated or soggy, browning, or is the soil in excess of water but overnight his branches have dropped/fallen. Also, there haven't been any bugs to my knowledge. Any insight is much appreciated!!

Can anyone identify this plant? It says it’s an echeveria but it doesn’t look like one.

More of #BabyToes !!! A couple days ago I shared progress of my #BloomingSuccs and I noticed today that the third flower bud opened up. I took some pictures of how sweet these flowers are and of a giant stalk growing out of the center of my #FairyWashboard #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy

New Fingers! #BabyToes Alright. I've got another living stone type plant! This one I got from a popup, and I wanna ask if it looks alright or if it needs anything before I put it with everyone else. There's a spot I'm a little concerned about on one of the fingers. But the amount of new growth is honestly crazy to me.

This baby toe succulent arrived in rough shape, with several of the "toes" severed. I used sterilized scissors to prune it. It was dry, so I watered it. Put it next to an east facing window, no grow light. Now, the toes are wrinkly. What should I do? #BabyToes

Help! Supposed to be baby toes! What can I do for it? #BabyToes
