How to fertilize ant plant

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 ant plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Can I grow my ant plant similar to a bonsi I have these three mature and one juvenile ant plant I'm wondering if I could wrap its roots around an amethysts crystal (or any crystal that is purple) kind a like the one shown. Would this be possible or is this wishful thinking. I know this plant is an epiphyte so in theory this should or but I don't want to hurt any of my plants. I was also thinking of getting a China doll plant; would that be better suited for a project like this? And if so any pointers? #antplant #bonsai #help #helpneeded #bonsaitrees #chinadollplant

I just got this ant plant today and it's full of ants! I'm just wondering if the seller had them with ants or they came some time on the way 🤔. Now I don't need to worry about quarantining it since the ants will protect their home but it's going to make it hard to water or keep food out 😅🥲. #happyplants #plantaddict #antplant #wishlistplant

Can I mount my baby ant plant I'm looking for more space to put more plants would mounting my baby ant plant Leon Kennedy be a good idea for this or should I start mounting my hoya instead. Ant plants do live on trees so I think it would be plausible and I want one for aesthetic but I plan on mounting it on some wood that can handle being soaked. I don't know about my older ones though. #help #helpneeded #mountedplants #antplant
