🐶 🐈 šŸ‘¶ Toxicity

šŸ’Ø Humidity

Chick CharmsĀ® GIANTS Gold Mine prefers dry environments. Providing extra humidity or misting your plant allows water to linger on leaves, which can create the perfect environment for harmful types of fungi.


🪓 Soil

Chick CharmsĀ® GIANTS Gold Mine is very sensitive to wet soil, so choose a potting soil that drains very well and doesn’t retain too much moisture. A good soil will have lots of perlite or vermiculite for drainage and some organic matter for nutrition. A few handfuls of perlite added to regular store-bought cactus soil will do the trick!


šŸ’© Fertilizer

Chick CharmsĀ® GIANTS Gold Mine should be repotted after it doubles in size or once a year, whichever comes first. Fresh potting soil has all the nutrients your plant needs, so as long as it’s refreshed yearly, you shouldn’t need to use fertilizer. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!


ā„ļø Dormancy

It’s common for Chick CharmsĀ® GIANTS Gold Mine to go dormant in the wintertime and you may notice their growth slow down. Waterings should be spaced out more during this time.

🧐 Troubleshooting

When troubleshooting a sad-looking houseplant, start by checking for signs of distress in its leaves, such as yellowing, browning, or drooping, which can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies.

Inspect the soil moisture; too dry or too wet soil can cause problems.

Ensure the plant is getting the right amount of light, as too much or too little can stress it.

Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.


šŸ˜– Common Issues

Overwatering is a likely cause of issues with Chick CharmsĀ® GIANTS Gold Mine. These plants are very sensitive to wet soil so if you notice your plant becoming squishy or translucent, overwatering is the likely culprit.

Cut your plant just past where the rot ends and allow it to callus over for a few days before replanting it in fresh, dry soil. Download Greg to make sure your plant never gets overwatered again!
