How to fertilize Bird's Nest Snake 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 Bird's Nest Snake Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I am in love with a Grub baby and I’m not afraid to say it 😂 My new planter arrived yesterday and I thought giving him a little Mohawk with my dwarf Boncel was the perfect addition. Just had to share the awesomeness of Grub baby. #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #SnakePlant

Waxy Leaf Should I be concerned about the way the leaf on top looks?

What is this plant? I couldn’t identify it but I think it’s an agave. Anyone know what this is and if you can add new plants to Greg? It says it’s a Queen Victoria Agave but I can’t match it to any pictures on Google.

My Samurai Dwarf has not grown any new leaves since I got it. It was given to me as a birthday present nearly two years ago. I put it under a grow light then my bearded dragon decided to take a bite out of it when she jumped on the table. The poor plant doesn’t look to healthy, is dehydrated no matter what I do, and has a lot of injuries on the leaves. Any help with getting it to grow?

Samurai new leaves turning yellow Is it user error?? It’s finally not that dehydrated but the new leaves are turning yellow. Anything I’m doing wrong? It’s in as bright natural light as I can manage and not that much water (they prefer dry over wet) and otherwise good care. Don’t mind the bite marks from my bearded dragon. I don’t water it much at all.

Show me your happy😄 (or sad😔) I have a theory, to plant in a happy pot you get a happy plant😄🪴 Show me your happy pots and plants (or happy pots and sad plants😅). Do you have a "comfort" plant/pot? (It doesn't need to have a face to be happy😄). Show off your cool pots (and plants)!🪴 #happyplants #happypots #3dprint #plantsmakepeoplehappy #pokemonandplants #plantaddict #adhdplantlovers #succulentsquad #succulentlove #coolpotmondays

Can she survive? My sansevieria tornado has been looking bad lately. So I took her out of her terra Cotta pot and checked her roots. They look rather dry, which makes sense. I've been scared to water as much in the winter, as I've lost some of my succulents due to overwatering. I pulled some yellowing leaves off, and found brown areas. So far, I've sprayed some antifungal in it and am letting her dry. I will put her back in soil and give her a good bottom water. But is there a point? Can she survive this? #sansevieria #succulentsquad #succulentlove #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict
