I love this plant! It was my first, and is constantly pushing out new growth! It’s easy to propagate as well, and beautiful when getting enough sunlight.

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