How to fertilize Sun Cup

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 Sun Cup after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Is it normal that it tilts?

My #GreenTomatoCactus (if that’s what it is) is finally blooming! 🥳🥳🥳 As you know, I’ve been waiting on pins and needles. The flower has only opened halfway for the last couple of days—it closes in the late afternoon and opens in the morning a little bit wider each day—but it’s already stunning and I can’t wait to see the full effect! It’s even more beautiful than I imagined 🥹🌵🌸 #HappyPlants #BloomingSuccs #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #CactusClique #Cactus #NewGrowth #babevila

Any advice/Confirm identity I bought it from Lowe’s yesterday, I got the wrong type of pot and will change it to a terracotta soon. I have no south facing windows in my appartment so I’m considering getting a grow lamp. And it’s currently potted in a 4in glazed clay pot with cactus soil. I’m brand new to plants in general so I’m hoping to keep this one alive so I can confidently start a little collection. It came labeled as #NotocactusElegans. But it was $4 in a clearance section and not 100% confident on the labeling of it. If any one can help confirm the ID of it. I’ve included a picture of what I’m assuming is an old bud/flower still on it. Based on photos I’ve looked up I believe the bud is pretty low on the body of the plant for it to be a Notocactus Elegans. Thank you! #Cactus #CactusClique

I need help with another #plantid I recently got a wonderful cacti haul. They all had accurate IDs except for this one. It just said mammillaria. Greg says mammillaria elegans, that's what it's marked now, but Google says parodia. I'm not sure, if it is mammillaria, there are so many how do I tell which one it is!? #plantaddict #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #succulentlove #newplantmom #plantid #plantmoms #cactusclique #cactus #cacti

Flowering cactus or something else? Are these tufts going to turn into flowers, just part of the cactus, or something else? Thank you! #plantaddict #newplantmom #happyplants #plantcorner #plantlove #cactusclique #cactus #cacti #cactusbox #cactuscliques #cactuslove #cactuslover

#floweringplants #bloomingsuccs? This spiky tuft ball has been on my cactus for a while and hasn't done much. In the last week or so, I've noticed it getting slowly taller and maybe the tiniest hint of yellow in there. Is this a flower growing? There's a small one to the right as well. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #newgrowth #succulentlove #planttherapy #plantcorner #blooming #flowerpower #cactusclique #cactus #cacti #cactusbox #cactusflowers

Wrinkly Balloon Cactus Hi! My balloon cactus has become quite wrinkly. I assume because I’ve underwatered it! I was only watering once per month since it’s winter here. Should I be watering more frequently? I’m terrified to overwater! @SvelteKingfern @Sirlicorice #CactusClique #Cactus #SucculentSquad #babevila

I know I just posted about this the other day but I'm super excited that my first cactus bloom fully opened today! It's huge ! Up close the petals look like little light yellow feathers. Beautiful, had to share. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #succulentlove #plantcorner #plantlove #bloomingsuccs #blooming #bloomingcactus #cactusclique #cactus #cacti #cactusbox

Separate cacti? Wanting to repot these golden barrel cacti as they are currently in plastic with no drainage hole. Should I separate these little guys or keep them in the same bundle? #CactusClique #NewPlantMom
