How to fertilize Moonstone

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 itâs likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Moonstone after it doubles in size or once a yearâwhichever comes first.

I got a new plant and it has a few cuts and a hole and it lost a few leaves. What should I do ? #Moonstone

Why is this happening ?!đ„șđ When I originally got this baby she was completely underwatered, her leaves were shriveled and just all around in bad shape.. I cut the stem & water propagated her & slowly but surely she came back and was thriving ! But now recently all of her leaves started dropping and now sheâs got only 2 little leaves sprouting. What could have caused this? & what should I do? Thank you for any and all advice & answers in advance đđŒđąđ #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #NewPlantMom

I just purchased these yesterday. I love them so much and wanted to share them with everyone. If anyone has good tips they would like to share to ensure they thrive with me, I will be very grateful.

Hi! I propagated these from an almost dead plant of my aunt's in August. They've made it this far, but do I/when do I need to separate them from the original pieces? I'm not even 100% sure they are moonstone. I'd appreciate any advice, they're my 1st prop #Moonstone

I had to cut off both of my moonstones because it was over watered in the nursery and the stem was rotting, what should I do now? đ„ #Moonstone

My moonstone is in a shared pot, will this affect the growth? #Moonstone

Is this really a moonstone? Greg keeps telling me this is a moonstone, but when I google it, the images look completely different to my plant. Does anyone know if it really is a moonstone or maybe if it is something else?

Is this even a moonstone? #Moonstone I am not sure this one is what Gregg says. I think hes a ghost plant, but idk. He's lost a lot of leaves, but they're healthy so I just, idk, stuck them in the pot with him. Do I trim him tho? Bcs he has a bit of a weird lopsided thing going on. And he's actually really leggy, just buried pretty deep which is also a bit concerning.

What other plant parents say










super cute!! her leaves are chonky and have various colors (they turn more pastel ish in direct sun). sheâs being grown hydroponically with a couple drops of fertilizer when i change the water in her jar, she grows rather slowly. these plants have farina (powder coating on leaves) so you have to take care when handling them, i havenât been the best at this but she doesnât seem to mind.
