How to fertilize Cocoon 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 Cocoon Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Plant Species Not Listed I have a senecio Haworth I and it didn't show up on plant ID when I searched for. On Android, it doesn't let me add a species. Can this be added? Common name: cocoon plant. #gregfeedback

My dog was doing zoomies, ran straight into this table, shoved it a good 5 feet before he got stopped, and utterly wrecked my plants. 😭 #PetsAndPlants #PetsOfGreg I’m already late for work—no time to properly fix this.
