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

Watering woes root rot? I think im over watering (once a week about a cup) but I just lost two long stems at the the base that are very smooshy. Did I over watering and get root rot? I have a long bit left not effected yet, is there a way to callus it and save the reat of the staulk? Im still rather new to a varity of plants so im missing the timing and amounts still unfortunately

I’m new to this succulent I just wanted to know if it’s normal for these leaves to start growing in all different directions. It gets 3 hrs of sunlight through a window and I only water it when the soil completely dries out. Thanks Cathy@MeekSweetleaf #NarrowLeafChalksticks

How big do these get? I want to know if i need to repot my plant since it’s getting a little big… does anyone know if it’s maxing out or if it’ll keep growing?

Mystery Plant Discovered! #BarbertonSenecio Hey everyone! I was gifted this mystery plant almost two years ago and never knew what it was until I found this app! However I am not seeing any that are as large as mine when I look up images… Should I trim it down/split it? Or is it okay to just leave as it is and let him keep growing?! Thanks!! Also… It has never blossomed with the pretty yellow flowers I have been seeing….

What’s in my plant? Not sure what these are on this plant. Are these baby aphids?

Medusa is flowering? Hello! My very large pickle plant suddenly has pink/red tips on a few of the stalks. I know these plants flower, but after having this guy for 2 years and never flowering I assumed it was super rare. This plant is very established, some may say a little out of control 😂 Is this guy getting ready to flower? What’s going on with the tips? #PicklePlant #SucculentSquad #MaturePlants #PlantAddict #SucculentLove #Succulents #flowerpower

Weird? So I just joined this app to learn more about my plethora of plants. This guy I’ve had for about 2 years. It started out with 3 maybe 4 stalks 3-4” long. As you can see, it’s grown 😂. I don’t really know much about it, I actually didn’t know I had it in the perfect spot and have been taking care of it properly. My question is, is it normal to look like this? When I look at photos online I don’t see them look this wild. I’ve also never had blooms, which I would really like to see. Any tips on how to get it to bloom? Thank you in advance!

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

I have this plant in a southwest facing window, and it LOVES it. The pot that I have is three separate plants (two small, one older), and I was worried they would be crammed, but I think they like it! It’s so easy to tell when it needs water because the leaves get a slight bend to them. This is my favorite plant that I own :) if you have a bright window, I highly recommend!!
