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

My Corpse Flower plant has come out of dormancy for the first time since I got it! It took about a year but I was patient and it paid off! Now only about 8 more years before I can hope for a bloom 🌸

My baby p*nis plant is growing :) this is the second leaf it put out and it is much bigger then the first one. I grew it from seed, so i am a happy mother :) Can't wait to have it flower one day and regret my decisions when i smell the plant😂 Plant bio picture is older leaf, not sure how well you can compare it though. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #newgrowth #amorphophallus #amorphophallusgigas #nathaliezyx4
