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

My new baby.😊 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #BundleOfSticks

#freshleaffriday #bundleofsticks #newgrowth I didn't think she would make it but she seems to be coming back now

My bundle of sticks is dying back and I don't know why My bundle of sticks has died back heavily and I don't know why the stems just dry up and break off does anyone know what I should do?
-
Learn from me before buying a plant that needs to dry out and not stay to wet and not changing the soil while it was still summer. I hope this helps her. I put her in a terracotta pot and I'll wait a day or two to water. I checked the soil and it was so soggy and it stayed this way for a while so hopefully my soil mixture helps her. I plan on painting a simple design on her pot too. #bundleofsticks #terracotta #weirdplants #getbetter #getbetterplant
