How to fertilize Silver Dollar Vine
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 Silver Dollar Vine after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

My plant keeps drying up leaves #SilverDollarVine hi I hope I can still revive my plant the stems are becoming woody and dye and the leaves just shrivel up. I have tried to lessen the watering but I think it may have suffered root rot because I thought the shriveling up was due to under watering . Will it revive if I give it time? How do I try to revive

Sonora is the name of one of my favorite jazz songs (I discovered it from Ryo Fukui, RIP) and also the name of this wonderful thriving plant.

The OTHER favorite for #CitrusGrandPrix that I forgot about is my #xerosicyosdanguyi - I'm pretty sure one of these little guys just gave up on life... but his stem is still firm! Come on, little stem! #HappyPlants and #NotSoHappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlayingWithPlantsInsteadOfWorking 🤫

Welcome a new orphan to the family. Sonora is a Silver Dollar Vine but has seen some hard times for the leaves, which I’m not sure what to do with. I was thinking of perhaps pruning those leaves and then letting the undamaged ones go, but what is good, plant friends? #SucculentLove

#CitrusGrandPrix I don't know if I'm more excited about the #DioscoreaElephantipes or the #xerosicyosdanguyi - I think I'm more stoked about these. #CovetedCaudex #PlantsMakePeopleHappy Planted: 5/28/2021
