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

Crown of thorns root rot? I recently repotted my crown of thorns because I used the wrong pot and soil, but the soil wasn't completely dry before repotting. I'm scared that I accidentally inflicted my baby with root rot. He lost a stem this morning and his leaves have been looking quite down. I'd like some opinions before i take him from his pot AGAIN and end up shocking him more Does this look more like transplant shock or root rot #crownofthorns #overwatering #succulentlove #planttherapy #rootrot #newplantmom #

Crumpled leaves on poinsettia? I have some leaves on my poinsettia that look all crumpled? Could it be too much/little water or too close to the window? Or maybe something else? Not all the leaves are like this but there are a few scattered through the plant? It’s currently 4 years old since I bought it and had a ‘hard’ cut back 2 years ago. Thank you for any advice!

Rescue tips? I got this corn cob cactus a few days ago and he’s looking a little rough. Any tips to help breathe life into him? i’m also new to the plant world so all i’ve done is repotted him into a slightly bigger plastic pot with drainage holes. thinking about moving him to a larger terracotta pot, but i don’t know what would be a good size?

Is this normal? Chewie was thriving and overnight turned all yellow, I though I did something wrong but when checking on him today noticed he has a lot of new growth? Is this normal? lol

Inherited this firesticks from my ex. She spends her winters in the basement to keep my pets safe so she looks sad as she just got back outside. Shes potted and desperately needs to be thinned or cut back but frankly I’m afraid to do that due to the sap. Any tips?? #SucculentLove
