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

How do I repot this silver Squill? Or do I just take a cutting and add another plant?

Is my silver squill healthy? #SilverSquill I feel like the base of the plant always seems kind of shriveled. I repotted it last year and it has grown quite a bit but I feel like it’s not thriving.

Growth Explosion! Quite a surprise from my Silver Squill. She has given me two offshoots and FOUR flowers! Amazing! I can't wait to pollinate them. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy #plantcorner #plantlove #iloveplants #newgrowth #planttlc #greggang #adhdplantlovers #succulentlove #succulent #silversquill #whatthesuccwednesday

Hi fellow #GregGang I was gifted this struggling #SilverSquill a few months ago. Unfortunately my usually trusted demon blue heeler chewed him to down to nubs. (He’s fine) and this beauty took advantage of the unintentional aggressive pruning and is having lots of #newgrowth I don’t have any experience with these beautiful plants and I see all the growths that look like possible pups? Is this a #Propagation opportunity? Also any other tips on this creature are welcome. I love her cheetah print type #variegatedplants
