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

How do you make these grow straight up? #RedDragonFlower my guy is long and grows out to the sides. All these pictures they are shooting straight up. How do I get him to do that? Note: putting in a bigger pot today!

I was away for awhile and left my mom in charge of my plants. I came back and my life saver plant is basically dead. I changed the soil (it was soaking wet) and put him in a smaller pot. He is now sitting outside in the sun all day. Any suggestions??? #LifesaverCactus

So I had a post a while back about some little new nubbin growth on my #lifesavercactus, wondering if they were flower buds or new arms forming. Turns out, it was new arms!
