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

More silly solutions to plant problems! Pseudolithos migurtiunis are sensitive to just about anything, including drafts (rip my previous pseudolithos), and it's been pretty windy lately. So I made her a little nun hat out of a coffee filter to protect her from a surprise stiff breeze! #Pseudolithos #RarePlants #modernproblemsrequiremodernsolutions

Not sure if my pseudolithos is getting enough water I have my pseudolithos in pure lava rock (I know it says perlite but there's no lava rock option), and I'm worried that the water is draining too fast and the plant isn't getting enough time to absorb any water. Should I mix a tiny bit of regular succulent soil in to give it more time to absorb water? I water it once a week like the nursery told me to, but it's still very compressed and wrinkly.
