How to fertilize Dwarf Clone

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 Dwarf Clone after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

My string of dolphins fell from the ceiling! It was in a hanging pot and I was trying to get it down but it fell and the plant fell out all over my carpet. What are these white things on it? Can I save this plant, or is it completely dead? 💀 Btw, I haven’t checked the roots yet!! And there are more pictures of the plant in the comments. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #NewPlantMom #PlantCorner #HangingPlants #StringOfDolphins #stringofthings #disaster #helpneeded

My string of fishhooks is growing a lot of aerial roots and the leaves are a little dry. What do you recommend? More sun and more water?

How to heal my String of Dolphins? My plant seems to be poorly and I’m not sure why! He’s just been put under a grow light as I don’t think he was getting enough before, but I’m not sure if he’s saveable? What’s best to do to fix him? There are new leaves growing but obviously there’s a lot of brown :( #StringOfDolphins

Do the lower leaves of Spear Head Senecio naturally yellow and die off or do I have a problem? My Spearhead recently had three leaves yellow and die. They are firm and have a normal texture. They were all the oldest leaves at the bottom. It was repotted about 3 months ago and it grew quite a bit after that. It is regularly fertilized. There is no sign of root rot. My Spear Head is in a very well draining terracotta pot with a combo of succulent soil with 35% grit. It is watered only when a moisture meter indicates it is dry. The plant is under a grow light which is just inches from its top leaves. It gets 830fc of red, blue, and white light for 12hrs per day. I see no signs of sunburn. I’m at a loss unless it’s normal leaf loss. I’d appreciate any ideas you might have. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #GregGang

New environment, cold room possibly overwatered- help! I just got this beauty and she’s been moved into my office which is pretty cold over the weekends (I’d say mid 50s- low 60s). No grow light yet and I might have overwatered her for such a cold environment since some of her leaves were looking a bit pruney. Is this a love her and leave her alone situation or is there anything I should do at the moment to help her out? I’d like to repot her and give her some drier soil but I also don’t want to add extra stress

What should I do with this plant? Should I cut it and put it in water? Or soil? Or leave it cause of the roots? I don't know what to do with it cause its mostly dead.
