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

Its unhealthy I have a showy stonecrop. It was beautiful growing. Now it has dead leaves. I water it every other week, it's outside, what am I doing wrong?

Is this a showy stonecrop? Originally Greg app said this was peperonia Hope. 🤷♀️ #ShowyStonecrop

Does anyone know what is going on with these leaves? Hey Greggers, was looking at Deilen and noticed some of these marks on his leaves, the top ones and a couple of the bottom ones. Does anyone have any ideas? #succulentsquad #waterpropagation #plantsinwater #officeplants #stonecrop #plantaddict #planthelp

What’s happened?! My plant was looking happy and healthy yesterday morning and looks like this today - any ideas what caused this would be greatly appreciated #ShowyStonecrop

Anyone know what these spots are and what I should do about it? #ShowyStonecrop

Lets ignore the state of my mug 😂 and look more and the plant shall we. Great when you know another plant guy in the office, I drop off a chilli plant and he drops this little guy off. Trying to find the best pace for him and me. Think i see some new leaves too but not jinxing it. Just need to make sure I dunk my biscuits in the right one 😂😂 #coffeewithsucculents #teawithsucculents #succulentsquad #sedum #plantsmakepeoplehappy

I brought this in from living outside all summer and fall. I sprayed it down with my alcohol/soap/been/water mix but noticed all these black dots. If they’re bugs, they seem dead. Should I keep it quarantined a little longer?

Another one for #freshleaffriday this one is an outside love!

Can my plant be saved? Got two of these plants as a gift (not sure what species), but this one is starting to look very droopy and wilted. I don't think it will survive :( I already cut off one wilted branch, not sure what to do about it now. The other twin (Susanne) seems to be doing fine (under the same conditions), so I can't figure out what caused it. Does anyone know at least what type of plant this is?

Literally found it sitting in a huge pot in my friend’s back yard. She said it had been there for over a decade and no one had touched it. Beautiful and lush with no help at all, so I can’t wait to see what happens with proper care!!

Super easy to care for, barely needs watering and so easy to resurrect- even if it looks like there’s no chance of survival. Highly recommend.

I left this guy outside at my moms house for a year and it grew so much without any attention, even over winter!

I had only kept these plants outside and was always amazed at how they would regrow annually no matter how long & cold the winter had been. I enjoyed the mid fall flowers and brought a few inside to add color to my other green succulents, low and behold the flower stem started throwing off adorable shoots!
