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

App issues today? 1. When adding a plant, I kept getting an error message that the watering cycle could not be completed-try again later. I was finally able to add and realized it added several times lol. 2. I was trying to update the photo on a plant card by going into details. I tried taking photo and uploading. Also tried making change to card before clicking Done. Old photo won’t change. Still my fav app!! 💚 #gregteam #GregFeedback

Is this mold? What's this white stuff on my Echeveria PVN's stem? Is it mold? I water it around every 2-3 weeks, and it's in Black Gold succulent soil, which everyone says is well-draining. It's under a grow light and used to be in a south-facing windowsill, but it wasn't doing too well, so I'm trying a growlight. The white stuff in the soil is perlite. #echeveria #succulentsquad #succulentlove #succulents

Happy New Year's Eve everyone! This time of year has always held a peculiar bittersweetness and melancholy for me. Ever since I started getting into plants, I've found that the melancholy is significantly less than usual. The days are short but they're getting progressively longer. Some of the plants have new growth, a small promise that spring is right around the corner. This year I'm undertaking a little personal project: I'm going to try to photograph all of my plants' growth throughout the year, documenting them on the equinoxes and solstices. I'm super excited to see how much they grow; for now, enjoy some of the pics I took yesterday. #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy #plantmafia #happyplants #newgrowth #succulentlove #succulentsquad #succulents #succerforsucculents #echeveria #longerdaysarecoming #crassula #jade

What went wrong? #Echeveria posh is a member of the Spice Girls and also a succulent. She started out so good and got really big and green and then got this white powder that I tried to wipe off with a towel and distilled water, but it’s kind of shriveled up what went wrong? Is there anything I can do to save it?

Why is it turning yellow? May have been a little overwatered when first got it and it has been on a south west windowsill although not very sunny this time of year #Echeveria

Is my plant overwatered? Should I keep leaving it outside in the sun #Echeveria

Succulent ID? Again! 🤣 Hi! Soooo, I lucked out at the grocery store and got these beauties for an absolute steal, just because they were in a holiday-themed container! Score! 🤗 I was able to identify the panda plant and other echeveria in the arrangement, but these two have me stumped. Google lens, Picture This, and this lovely app are all stumped, as well! The first one has a very distinct shape on its newest leaves in the center, like they’re multi-faceted almost. Which reminds me of a Little Jewel, but I can’t be sure. Halp! 🪴🔎🕵🏻♀️ #HappyPlants #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Echeveria #PlantInfo #PlantID #SucculentID #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #babevila @vvvelo 😂🤷🏻♀️💚

Sooo I was at the grocery store and they randomly had the hugest #Echeveria Perle Von Nurnberg I have ever seen! 🤩🪴 6 inches across! I snagged it for $11. I’ve had it for about a week, and it’s already beginning to show its lovely stress colors under my succulent lights 💜🩷💜🩷💜🩷 I swear, the grocery store has gems for me all the time 🤣💚 #HappyPlants #PlantAddict #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #PlantTherapy #babevila #WhatTheSucc #SuccerForSucculents

This succulent is HARDY. He’s been through so much but now he’s thriving and living his best life. We should all be so lucky.
