How to fertilize Big Blue Chalksticks
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 Big Blue Chalksticks after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Browning tips? Snow’s a Chalksticks succulent and I’ve noticed some browning tips and a few “sticks” that have kind of “deflated”. It did have a bit of a time in transport, too long in the dark, and my other succulent that I’d ordered has suffered similar symptoms. Should I just keep watering every 3-ish weeks or so or do I need to do something? #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove

Show me your pickles!!! Any plant known as a pickle plant, or any plant named 'Pickles!'. I thought 'Famous Dave' (my pickle plant) was supposed to be tall and straight, but a lot of newer growth went wavy... probably not enough light/etioliated. #pickleplant #plantsmakepeoplehappy #happyplants #newgrowth #coolpots

My plant dropped all its leaves in the middle of the stem awhile AFP and they haven't grown back. The leaves at the bottom and the top look healthy but the plant just looks a bit wonky. 😂 Any ideas or suggestions on chopping it and propogating the top half? #PropagationStation
