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

I updated my last photos. Anyone know what this could be? Water levels are fine, I use a water meter. Soil should be just fine, just bought it 4 months ago. Wondering if it’s pests that I can’t see? Help a girl out! #Ficus

No growth? I got these plants as a gift towards the end of June and they haven’t grown at all. I am planning to repot the spider plant somewhere my cat can’t get to it, but is it worth repotting? And why has the fiddle leaf fig not grown at all? #FiddleLeafFig #SpiderPlant #NewPlantMom

Got a kick out of naming the office plants. I present my first one, Figgie Smalls. We also have Spike Tyson (cactus) Monstera Stewart, Bird Pitt (bird of paradise), ZZ Top (ZZ plant), and some others I don’t remember off the top of my head.

Will my plant die? #Ficus I don’t really have any way to have him I direct light, and I can’t put him outside until fall because I live in Arizona 😩 Any tips or tricks to make sure I don’t water him too much? Greg says to do 1 1/2 cups of water every 8 days but that seems like a lot…

My Ficus Benjamina (Weeping Fig) Has Been Losing Leaves My Ficus Benjamina (Weeping Fig) Has Been Losing Leaves since I got it. It drops some almost everyday. I’m not quite sure what’s wrong. It could be not enough light and I do sometimes let it dry too much before watering.

As my Weeping Fig gets larger (purchased small) is it possible to braid the developing small trunks into one larger centralized trunk? Will this harm the plant? #Ficus

Is this looking like root rot? I've had this fiddle for about 2 weeks now. #FiddleLeafFig
