@theloveofplants - WOW ๐Ÿคฉ Racheal, both of your plants are HUGE now! But that brasil is GORGEOUS!!

I just recently got a 4in brasil!! Do you have any tips or tricks for them?! Do you use any kinda fertilizer??

I was using we the wild, but just ran out and now Iโ€™m trying to find a new one! Any recommendations??

And Iโ€™m SOOOOOOO HAPPY TO SEE YOU AGAIN ๐Ÿฅฐโค๏ธ๐Ÿฅฐ
Itโ€™s definitely been awhile!!
@JenniferNoel Aww ๐Ÿฅฐ I feel so loved right now! Thank you for all your kind words! It really has been a while. I have not been as active on here recently - but I am still here!

All of the plants have changed so much! I was just looking back at pictures from a few months ago and they all have just grown so much!

This is the fertiler brand I use (first picture). I really like it a lot!
The second picture is another one I have been wanting to try for some time, but I am waiting until spring to give it a try. I have heard wonderful things about it!
@theloveofplants - YES, I agree! I heard great things about super thrive!

Do you put add the fertilizer in every watering?! And one more question, what kind of soil do you use for your rubber trees?! They all look sooo HEALTHY! Mine is slowly recovering from rot!!

Iโ€™m sorry for all of the questions! I have sooo many, but thatโ€™s because youโ€™re a WONDERFUL PLANT MAMA!! All of your plants look sooo HAPPY ๐Ÿฅฐ
@JenniferNoel - I am excited to see how awesome Super Thrive is for myself! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

I do not put fertilizer in every watering but I have seen that some people use Super Thrive in every watering. I am not sure if I will do that or not yet. If I do, I will make sure the dosage is not as high. I donโ€™t want to give too much fertilizer and cause a buildup.

I typically use a mix on Miracle Grow potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite. Sometimes I will even add in a few Leca balls.

No need to apologize for asking questions. I am happy to answer them! โ˜บ๏ธ You are too kind, thank you for saying that!
@theloveofplants I have been trying to tell my Greg plant friends about superthrive!!! Works great!!!!! My plants and succulents love it !!
@Hoyaobsessed Oh yay! ๐Ÿ˜ I am so glad to hear this! Do you use it every time you water?
@theloveofplants no I do a dose in spring and once in the end of summer this is the one I use : SUPERTHRIVE ORIGINAL PLANT VITAMIN SOLUTION WITH KELP
@Hoyaobsessed awesome, thanks for sharing! ๐Ÿค—
As always, so very clean cut, and beautiful. I love it. For someone as chaotic as me, it's always very inspiring.
Beautiful! Everything looks so green and healthy! Love the simplicity. I havenโ€™t tried super thrive, but my plants love their OceanForest soil from FoxFarm.
@MusicalRedmint - Aw Susann, you are so kind ๐Ÿฅน
@teacher12 Thank you Laura! I love when others share their experiences with plant products! I have not heard of that soil before but good to know if I ever want to try something new! ๐Ÿค—
Absolutely gorgeous way to showcase your beautiful plants. Thanks for sharing!
@teacher12 I just bought 2 bags and amended the soil for some of mine with it. Looking forward to see how they like it. Thanks for your recommendation about fox farm!
@SubtlePeyote awesome! I hope you love it. Iโ€™ve been really happy with their products. ๐Ÿฅฐ
@SubtlePeyote Thank You Christina! I appreciate your kind words! โ˜บ๏ธ I am glad you enjoy!
Looking at the picture is the window to the left or in front of the shelf? Also what direction is the window??

I am starting a shelf thing in my living room.


My window is to the right and it faces east but I think because of the angles the sun will hit through all afternoon
@hungryowl771 Celina - I took a picture this morning as the sun was rising for you to get an idea of where the window is. Looking out the window, I am standing South-East. But the light is coming from the East.
@hungryowl771 It took me some time to decide where the shelf would get the best light. I would come into our room and see where the light was at different times each day. I am sure your shelf will be beautiful! ๐Ÿคฉ
