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

Opened my front door to roughly 4.5" of snow and a plant package I've been waiting on- there was no heat pack included, so wish me luck as I keep an eye on this *gorgeous* little bluebean 💚😍 #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #succulentlove #planttherapy #bluebean

Anyone know why my ghost plant is doing this? I’ve had this plant since Mother’s Day and recently repotted into a bigger pot with drainage because it has grown a ton and now I just noticed this.

Graptopetalum Petandrum ‘Superbum’ Roots and Petals My Graptopetalum Petandrum’s roots don’t seem to be taking to its new soil, the soil is succulent soil and the plant has been in it for several weeks however it still moves loosely whenever touched. Before getting it on a watering schedule it was being watered too frequently and some of the petals fell off from the bottom. It hasn’t been watered since this started happening but could the overwatering be affecting the roots as well or is it something else?

Hey my sister begged me to get it but I have no clue how to take care of it

Lots of growth - time to repot? I need help to properly care for or possibly repot my ghost plant. Before I started using this app my plant was on the way out until I started giving it the proper light & water. However, now it’s growing so much but the bottom leaves start to die off and I’m not sure this pot is the right size or type for this plant? Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Thank you! #NewGrowth #GhostPlant

Sharing Propagation Success- The ghost plant below started as 6 five inch cuttings. Once established, I punctured the stems with a tooth pick to encourage new growth. See below all of the new babies- this plant will be full and beautiful with patience! #GhostPlant

What is this coming out of the stem? It looks like roots. Hi! It looks like a root is growing out of the side of my baby ghost plant. What in the world would this mean, or could it be?
