🪴 Nutrients

How to fertilize Dragon Tail

Nutrient, fertilizer, and repotting needs for Dragon Tail: repot after 2X growth

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 Dragon Tail after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Another #FreshLeafFriday post. My philodendrons xanadi aurea and split leaf finally opened their new leaves. My raphidophora decursiva has popped out two knew dragon tail leaves. And my syngonium albo is snapping! I'm usually skeptical when I hear people say their plant puts out a leaf every week, but this plant made me believe. She has given me a new leaf every week for the last month, and I'm here for it! #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #philodendron #dragontailplant #happyplants #syngonium
