How to fertilize Snake 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 itâs likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Snake Plant after it doubles in size or once a yearâwhichever comes first.

I'm so proud of my Monstera peru. I love the texture on her leaves and just looking at her. Just wanted to gush. One of my favorites!

I love all my plants equally, but my Monstera Peru is definitely the star of the show right now! This new leaf and growth have grown so fast! Does anyone have any advice in regards to moss poles and when I should add one? #NewGrowth #NewPlantMom #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

Help, please?! #MonsteraPeru So I received this rooted cutting last November (red cup picture). It was water propagated, and it had 4 leaves but one of the leaves looked damaged. I potted it up, and shortly after, the damaged leaf dropped. We have had our ups and downs as I am learning more about this plant. One leaf started to turn yellow and a spot formed. I treated it with Arber (the yellow, green and purple bottle) regularly since, and of course the color around the spot never returned to normal. I read it likes to have really airy soil and not be root bound at all, and that it likes consistent water or it can be a diva. So I repotted a bit ago into a really chunky mix. After that, it pushed out another leaf and it looks like a new growth point is starting. It has started to get warmer, so our ceiling fans have been on and I noticed his soil drying faster than normal. Just recently, the leaves started to turn yellow again after I discovered him kind of dry. I have put him under a grow light and really trying to make sure he doesnât dry out. The leaf that had the spot recently shriveled and dropped (second pic) and I am still treating this guy with Arber preventatively. Is there anything else I should be doing or you see I am doing wrong? I recently lost 5 plants in one day to some type of aggressive bacteria I think that came from a new plant, and the bacteria survived quarantine, so Iâm on high alert right now. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #Monstera #GregGang #itrunsinthefamily #PleaseDontDie

What is this and how do I get rid of it? A while back I repotted plants and shortly thereafter had a few plants get white fuzz on the top of the soil. A quick google search says mold/fungus from contaminated soil or overwatering. There werenât signs of overwatering and it was freshly repotted, therefore I assumed it was the soil. I threw out the remaining unused soil got new fresh soil and then re-repotted them and didnât have anymore fuzz. But now I have fuzz on several plants again but havenât repotted anything recently. It may be from overwatering, but the soil was fully dry last week when I watered them. I do bottom water most of my plants, in a larger tub that a few can drink from at the same time. And when last week when I watered them I had given them a âspa dayâ with the concoction that @PlantJedi introduced me to. How do I get rid of this? #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #whatisthis #GregGang #PlantTherapy #PlantAddict #MonsteraPeru #VerdantFlora

Whacky Leaf On My Peru! Ok what on EARTH đđ she gets plenty of filtered light in the afternoon and TONS of morning light through my front west window. Hung in a basket & using a mix of regular soil, coco coir, and a small bit of orchid bark & perlite. WHY is this one growing straight up!? None of the other leaves have done this and I started the plant from a friendâs cutting over a year ago!! Should they not have a tendency to grow downwards towards the window like the others have?? Looks so funky đComments/suggestions welcome!
