How to fertilize Never Never 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 Never Never Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

#HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #RescuePlants #NewGrowth #BeforeAndAfter #evilgenius #madscientist #experimenttime updates should happen later 🤪 ok so nothing too crazy in the Lab for this post, Mercury is on the mend!!!! 😍 moving leaves yesterday and today there’s noticeable darkening up at the base of all 4 leaves. I thought it was there yesterday too but couldn’t be sure, and I don’t know how well the difference will show up but I don’t care!!! The edges did end up crisping though which doesn’t look too pretty but is a good sign the damage has stopped happening and started healing. My best guess is someone tried to remove this guy from an established Amagris plant and caused a super stressed state and then was overwatered. But I’m so new with these guys any other theories would be appreciated!!!! I’m also gonna change his name to Dracula 🤪 the OG Pale Guy story that took on a life of its own….. yup. This guy is absolutely Dracula 😍 @RealSimpleMama any name suggestions before I change it??

#HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #RescuePlants #CalatheaCrew #CtenantheAmagris so part of one of my fb bargains was this random dude I named Mercury thrown in “for free” that the person said was a Freddie. It’s not 😅 it’s a throwback shoot from an Amagris 🤦♀️ and relatively common apparently after some googling. I’m still pretty new to these kinds of plants so advice is much appreciated 😊 pic is of the New Boi who didn’t have his trimmed out and actually has 3 of them!

#RescuePlants #HappyPlants #PlantAddict #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantHaul so I went to pick up some new baby philodendrons…… so Lucky Ohil has some friends (Brazil, Pink Princess, Whute Princess - Phil is a gold violin) and I found a droopy torn Monstera I got for half price and a couple others that were cute when I stopped looking at the sad lil monster 😍 also, #itcouldhavebeendrugs so there’s that 🤷🏻♀️

#HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #CalatheaCrew Mercury here is a new edition to the #evilgenius laboratory. I reallllly didn’t like the colour so I opted to repot immediately instead of letting him adjust. First step was dump the whole pot in enough water that the soil started to float. About 30 mins later there was a bunch of white floaters that were not sand or perlite and were too small to really see properly but kinda mushy when I tried to pick some up. My best guess is fungus in the new plants media 😭 #ShareYourProcess is important I think so here’s what’s happened so far, a complete root wash and whole brand new pot, media, light fungicide and barely 48 hrs with me. He’s spent 12 resting before I decided it was worth the upset a repot would cause when his colour was so washed out and around 36 hours in hospital with the other #RescuePlants (I don’t think their profiles are up yet) and already colour is improving. The 7 Amagris that came home with Mercury are next for the full treatment and still quarantined

Wrinkly new leaves and back of leaves has sticky spots #NeverNeverPlant Hey Greg team - need your help, please 🙏 My two plants have the same issues, new leaves come out wrinkly and they don't smooth out over time (none of the older leaves have this issue). The back of leaves are also sticky - could this be a sign of pests? I can't see anything visible on the plants. Pic 1 - new wrinkly leaf (right) compared to old one Pic 2 - back of leaves with sticky spots

A new baby has emerged from Jack n the beanstalk. It was earlier this week I was worried about him not getting enough water. But now I'm giving water for now he's happy with 1to cups of water.
