How to fertilize Little White Soldiers
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 Little White Soldiers after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Is this the right plant?! Hi everyone, I bought this beauty from a rare houseplant shop (UK), The label said #drimiopsis but when I've put it on Greg it's come up with #VariegatedLeopardLily and it really looks the same as the photos on Greg... But I'm sure they are two different plants. Have I labeled it incorrectly?

I’m new to the drimiopsis macualata. It doesn’t seem to be doing well. I’ve lost a leaf and the other 2 are yellowing. I’ve moved it from medium light to low light and now an area where it gets only indirect bright light part of the day. The soil is moist and I allow it to dry in between showers. Any suggestions as to what could make this little guy happier? #HappyPlants #help #Drimiopsis
