Following!

Seems they were manufactured in 2020.  
Maybe test on a plant you’re okay parting with?

Also, I checked their website and they seem legit, might be worth contacting them?

Hey C! I was able to get ahold of the Planta customer service. The lady said that these are great to use but to make sure you add it into your plant schedule on the app so it’ll let us know when to change them :) hope this helps

Thanks for the update Seabee!

I’m curious, what’s the size of your pothos pot? And how full is the plant?

I’ve been reading that a pothos will get leggy if it’s fed too frequently bc the nutrients will allow it to do what it loves which is vine out and around a tree. But also I’m new to this so I have no baseline.

Curious to learn how your fertilizer spikes will affect things!
