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

Ideas to spruce up my new Cascara Sagrada bonsai's home Yesterday, I went outside and found this cute little sapling. I decided to pot it to keep it as a bonsai. I am wondering, how should I make its home look more 'natural' and 'fun'? What I mean is that it looks a bit bland and unnatural. There is moss that I put on the soil to look like miniature grass. I think I see a blade of grass growing on it, but I'll leave it for now. I'll pluck it out once it grows too big. All answers are appreciated! You don't have to own a bonsai to answer. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy #plantcorner #plantlove #iloveplants #newgrowth #planttlc #greggang #adhdplantlovers #bonsai

How to prune my bonsai and make it grow smaller leaves? I want to know how to make 3 big leaves grow into a bunch of smaller leaves. Currently, it only has 3 large leaves that are probably 2 inches long. I also want to know how far I should prune it back. I realized that the leaves are starting to tilt up again like they used to, which I guess means that it is recovering from stress. I don't want to stress it too much. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy #plantcorner #plantlove #iloveplants #newgrowth #planttlc #greggang #adhdplantlovers #bonsai
