How to fertilize Wizard® Velvet Red Coleus
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 Wizard® Velvet Red Coleus after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I repotted this plant about three weeks ago and have recently noticed these brown spots and patches on the crested part of the plant. (Not the corking) It had been in the same pot for about six years so I thought it was time to move it to a bit of a bigger space. It is in the same type of soil and the same location that it has been for years. The more reddish brown color on the crested part is actually cinnamon because I read that it can help with a fungal infection if that is the case. However, the spots are not soft or squishy at all. Anyone have any ideas??

Is there any hope? I rescued a red prayer plant from the clearance section of Lowe's a couple days ago. It split into two plants without me trying, so I planted them separately. One had healthy leaves but very few roots (Allen) and one (Dak) had one small okayish leaf and one with brown spots, but a more established root system. I cut out the brown spot, just in case. Dak is now dying and Allen is thriving. I'm new to prayer plants. At what point should I give up on Dak? I know prayer plants can be drama queens so I don't want to get rid of him if he can be revived! #redprayerplant #prayerplants

I’m going to post a few of my plants I’m struggling to find consistent data for proper care/schedules (as rough guidelines of course) and was just hoping maybe someone could point me in the direction of the following so I can familiarize myself with what these guys need/like to help my babies flourish and be in their optimal health states 🖤 I’m particularly #seekingadvice on the best watering methods, directional placements or distances from windows (and WHICH ones) they would thrive in, and ESPECIALLY seeking some guidance for #fertilizing my herd. I’ve got some plants I’ve heard enjoy weekly feeding, while others said annually & I’m not gonna lie it’s overwhelming to spend that amount of time trying to do the research on each individual plant and hope I trust the right source. #Currentlyusing #MiracleGro Tropical soil for indoor plants, with the indoor liquid fertilizer but am confused about HOW to use it because I swore it said pump it directly in to soil. I’ve also resorted to some of those fertilizer sticks as a more consistent source while trying to figure out my herd’s needs, but I’m fearful of causing more harm

Alocasia Red Secret blooming??? Guys I have been neglecting my plants a little and had been following this funny shaped leaf coming from my alocasia red secret but I think it’s a bloom?? I didn’t know they bloomed! Is this one I should cut off so it doesn’t use too much energy? #HappyPlants #Blooming #AlocasiaAddicts

Growth and pruning? Hi, newbie here. I just planted a Red Push Pistache in June and the tree has had new growth at the base. It’s December in Las Vegas and I’m wondering if/how I should prune the tree. Other sites mention early winter for pruning, but what does that mean? It’s a 15 gallon tree.

I literally don't do anything special to care for her. She loves it in my bedroom, close to a South facing window, and under a grow light. I'm in North Louisiana so I do have to water her a little more due to climate. Such a sweet baby! (YES, I called my plant a sweet baby.🤪) #redmaranta #houseplants #myplant #myplantaesthetic #plantsmakemehappy #plantlife #planty #plantvibes #plantlover #wateringplants #plantmom #plantgang #plantparent #plantparentcommunity #plantday #plantlady #plantladyisthenewcatlady #plantlove #planthoarder #plantcare #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants
