How to fertilize Silver Star Helichrysum
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 Silver Star Helichrysum after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Has tons of bugs This plant has been staying in my sunroom which is a steady 40°F, I noticed a bunch of tiny black bugs all over the leaves, they don’t move they stay still. Not sure if these are spider mites? What’s the best way to get rid of them?

What kind of plant is this? Greg says this is Italian Strawflower, but I thought maybe it is Spanish Moss. Though it feels and looks sturdier than moss. Is it maybe another kind of airplant? #ItalianStrawflower #SpanishMoss #AirPlant #SucculentSquad

Licorice plant looking sad Hi there, I was hoping that someone could help me diagnose the trouble I’m having with my new licorice plant. Or… at least I think it’s a licorice plant? She looks brown and a little dried up - I tried moving her out of direct sunlight and watering her more but it doesn’t seem to be helping. Any suggestions? Thanks Greg! #PlantTherapy #PlantCorner #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants

#Helichrysum #SilverStar is wilting and drying up! What can I do?? I already know I need to repot this little beauty, but I would like to know if there’s anything else I can do to prevent further wilting. She gets full direct sun facing Northwest, is watered regularly when needed, and is indoors. Is there anything I can do??
