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

What should I do with this? This is a #CarrionFlower or #CarrionPlant It's was an unrooted cutting given to me in October from @Boymom-plantmom and it seems very sturdy. It naturally has flopped over because of its weight and my question is: Should I hang it as it is (lopsided) or should I repot in the spring and straighten it out?

ID Help I need some help on this one @SirLiquorice or anyone else... Greg says cereus repandus but I don't know if I agree. I've looked at at every single cereoid on cactiguide and I can't pin this one down. Any guesses? Could it be some other type of succulent? #happyplants #cactusclique #plantsmakepeoplehappy #succulentsquad

Cheaper by the dozen??? In the past month or so I've gotten 12+ #newplants so this post is gonna be mad long and there will be many pics in the comments. Working backwards... This past weekend I stopped at The Artful Flea, this collection of vendors selling out of a house in Catonsville, MD and surprise surprise, two of those vendors were plant related. 👀 They're called #opalescentsoul and #fernandfolk. Somewhere in the pics below will be their business cards. I picked up a #piccolobanda and a #fairycastlecactus as well as a cute lil cement pot to put the cactus in! Weekend before that was the baltimore plant swap. I said goodbye to my Aglaonema and some Dieffenbachia and got this long #silverglory!! Two weeks before that I got some absolute stunners from #gabriellaplants. I'm talking #colocasiamojito, #alocasiastingray, #alocasiahilobeauty (emphasis on the beauty 😍) and a #philodendronfingerleaf. Thanks again @KDkat3 for the intro because these plants as so amazing. 3 out of 4 are already putting out #newgrowth!! And a week before that I had my first @EAS purchase and yall did not disappoint. We got #agavecreamspike, #bitteraloe, #scarecrowplant, #somekindacatcus (absolutely too long to hashtag), #stringofwatermelons and #lemonlimecrassula! I'm definitely done for the season and will be tryna focus on my garden instead. 🙃 But I regret nothing! #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantbinge #butprobmorenextweek #alocasia #peperomia #cactusclique #succulentsquad #philodendron #aloevera #carrionplant #dapperpineapple P.S. @RJG could we add the Philodendron Goeldii aka Finger Leaf to the plant directory?

found a lovely & large #zulugiant at a local floral shop this week & I'm stoked to nurture a new plant and learn how to best make him comfy. he's so large that he's got trouble holding half his branches up. anyone have any experience with #propagation with Zulu giants? the florist gave me a successfully propagated snippet to share, and I have a feeling a large chunk of him is headed in the same direction.

I think I’m murdering him Is he too dry? I overwatered him so I let him fry out, now he’s completely dry and shriveled up… but when I water him he gets all soggy and mushy! Help! I don’t know what he needs. He used to be so beautiful and now he’s just a stem. Parts of him keeps getting yellow and falling off. What should I do? #CarrionFlower
