Good afternoon everyone!

Hi, so I'm just wondering if I can make a fertilizer for all of my succulents to share. I found all these different fertilizers and I have no idea how old they could be. Which ones will I be able to mix or use with my crushed egg shell? imIll post. Clearer photos in the comments. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #newgrowth #lowmaintenance #greenanole
Sorry, it isn't letting me upload the pictures apparently so I'm going to have to send one by one, sorry :(

All those packets are for cut flowers, not potted plant fertilizer. They usually have sugar in them that will cause soil mold and root rot.
Skip the crushed eggshells as well. They break down too slowly to feed your plants.
Your best bet is to find a liquid succulent fertilizer (or use half-strength houseplant food) to use once or twice during spring/summer.
You know I’ve never thought about succulents needing fertilizer. I find that funny. οΏΌlol how is it? They always grow themselves.😭
@OhGollyItsJolly right, I just thought about it honestly πŸ˜… I just thought they need a little extra nutrients because their leaves keep getting all brown and shriveled up and they are getting the proper schedule too..
