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

Do they like the sun? I can't find the right spot for my #SnowWhiteWafflePlant, and the plant care page contradicts itself. Do they like direct sunlight or not? No matter where mine is, it just gets crispy leaves instead of new leaves. It's died so much it needs a smaller pot, but I don't want to shock it anymore by moving it. #rescueplants #sadplant #plantsmakepeoplehappy

Snow White Possibly Dying 😭 #SnowWhiteWafflePlant Hello! My Snow White is, of course, very finicky. Using diagnosis tools it's either having issues with being under OR over watered. The leaves are crispy at the ends and edges and some are brown in those places as well. I've tried watering it a little less and more recently watering it a little more but she will not bounce back. I actually checked the pH level today and it's at 5.0 which is very acidic and not good. Any suggestions on how to lower the pH level or fix my watering issues? Your help is greatly appreciated! 🙂

Watering habits? Hi guys! Yesterday I bought this snow white waffle plant (at Walmart, if you can believe that 🥴) and repotted her as soon as I got home from work, because she was incredibly rootbound in the tiny, itty-bitty nursery pot they had her in. Apparently they had just watered their plants, and she looked great! After a few hours though, I noticed the leaves drooping, and I was wondering: has anyone noticed if waffle plants are particularly expressive when it comes to watering? I gave her a bit of water, and she's mostly perked up again, but I was just wondering if this was a thing with waffle plants? Some pictures from today for attention! The stem that you can see hanging down in the pictures isn't actually all that limp; last night before I watered it, it was touching the rim of the pot 😭

Does anyone know what plant this is? I got her in a clearance section and she wasn’t labeled:(
