Do I need to fertilize a succulent garden pot?
Hi. I'm new here and to plants. I saw this adorable little baby Groot planter and bought it. He came with instructions and everything. I've managed to not kill everything for about 2 months.
He has #BlueEchevaria, #BurrosTail, #FalseSolomansSeal, #PandaPlant, #GreenSeaFingers, #StringOfButtons, and #GollumJade. He also had #StringOfPearls, but they failed. I think they came out of the soil when the cat whacked them. I'd like to replace them.
This is a 3-inch plastic pot, no real drainage, with succulent soil. I water the whole thing (36 ml per instructions) every 2 weeks. I have a solid wall on the sunny side of the house, so I have a grow light on him for 3 hours a day. #Fertilize #Succulents

@mullypaul Since I've only had him for a couple months, should I fertilize now, or wait? The plants still look very much like they do in the picture. Quite a bit of growth, especially on the smaller plants.
@mullypaul thanks very much!
While I did find the osmocote cacti & succulent, I could only find it at Bunnings. Thing is that I'm in the US! I found another brand with a similar chemical mixture, so I'm not too pressed. It's just weird that it's not available here.

Any very similar slow release will be fine just don't give too much
