Does anyone have an opinion on what fertilizer is best for a cat palm? I have all purpose miracle grow (24-8-16). I think it’s a synthetic fertilizer and I was told that palm’s don’t like synthetic fertilizer, and that I need a slow release one. Is this one OK to use you think, or do I have to go to the plant store and pick up a proper one? Google is less then helpful.

This is still my favorite syngonium, syngonium albo. Officially it’s labeled Syngonium albo variegatum ’marble’ on Steve’s Leaves website where I bought the first plant almost a year ago. This plant made me so happy I gradually bought 3 more! The vines waterfall over the edge of a pot making it excellent for a hanging basket. The leaves point upwards. So, it’s great in a pot on a shelf, as well. The leaf stems are a gorgeous pink and green ombré starting with pink at the base of the stem. I found the plant looked good even without repotting. I eventually put 2 in a well draining potting mix. I still have 2 in their original four inch pots. All plants are growing well. So, this plant is good for narrow shelves or where space is limited because they grow well in their 4 inch pots. They will need bright light, regular fertilizer and water when dry to keep them looking great. I underwater a lot this winter to avoid root rot since the plant is growing very slowly right now. The only downside is the cost. They are very popular and priced accordingly! A four inch pot starts from $35 to $50. I have paid more for things that did not make me this happy!🥰💕🪴

YAYYYY! I’ve wanted a string of hearts for ages and bought this one today from B&Q reduced to £5 (originally £10) I couldn’t believe it. I brought it back and repotted and pinned everything down, as I want to bulk it out a bit. I know it’s advised to wait a few days before repotting but I could not help myself it was a mess and so tangled.

My nanouk is beautiful but going a little crazy, how to I get her contained? Keep letting it trail, or an anchor pole to vine up? The vines are very thick

Growing some cat grass for one of my kitties. 😊 Picked up this kit for $2.50 at the dollar store. It comes with 2 packs of organic grass seeds (labeled $3.99 each), growing medium and a little dome to start the seeds. SCORE!! 😁 I can reuse the container to start seedlings. Hoping it will keep Winston away from my haworthia!
