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

Dear #Greggers, Word to the wise: Don’t. Buy. These! They start to flower and it stinks! Be forwarned! The smell attracts flies like no one’s business and it’s just gross! 🤢 If I didn’t like the way it looks when it’s not in bloom, I would just seal it in a bag and take it out with the trash in the morning. Good grief! 😮💨🥃 I can’t breathe! 🤮 Send Help! 🫣 I wonder if the deer will eat it. Maybe not. 😵💫😵💫🚮 #PlantAddict #ThatsWhatIGet #SucculentSquad #YouHaveBeenWarnedAboutThisOne #PlantsThatStink #WhatTheSuckIndeed
