Nutrient, fertilizer, and repotting needs for Slender Senecio: 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 Slender Senecio after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Pickle Plant Update 🥒 🌱🪴✨ They are still doing really great, the tallest pickle has gotten too tall to keep them on the shelf.l I’ve kept them on, without it getting sunburnt. it’s grown so tall it won’t fit on the shelf without sticking it between my grow lights. but if I continue to keep it there I’m thinking it will get sunburned being to close to the intense lighting. So I will have to move this baby to an area with more space! 🤗 I’m so impressed with this plant, it was half the size when I got it, and it was my first plant I had ever received bare roots from an online order. Although not all the plants in this order made it, I have atleast 5 that thrived once they got used to their new home. (: hope you guys are having a good weekend! #PicklePlant #NewGrowth #GrowingSuccs #GrowLights #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy
