How to fertilize Golden Ball Cactus

Nutrient, fertilizer, and repotting needs for Golden Ball Cactus: repot after 2X growth

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 Golden Ball Cactus after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I was gifted this 30 year old Pothos Plant yesterday from my grandmother in law. She had been allowing the plant to grow out and then taking the vines and wrapping them on top of the other vines in the plant to keep it full and bushy. She had taken some of the vines out and made 5 other big plant pots over the years. I decided to do a small trim and fertilizer, then hung this Pothos plant and untangled and stretched out all the vines to allow it to climb the wall. We had no idea it was this long. It is absolutely beautiful. 😍🌱🪴 #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants
