So the app is telling me to fertilize my baby red Earth star (looks pink to me tho🧐🩷) every couple days, and I'm wondering if that is a little excessive and also I have it in my dragons vivarium in the same planter as a baby snake plant which I know doesn't appreciate a lot of fertilizer so what should I do separate the plants, or heavily dilute the fertilizer? I keep snoozing the fertilizing notification but it's stressing me out 😩🙏🪴 they seem to be doing okay under this t5 10.0 bulb

Go to the plant settings and choose custom schedule then you can choose how often you want to fertilize. I have found that this app wants to over fertilize every plant. I always do my own research on how much fertilizer each plant needs. Snake plants and Earth Stars are not heavy feeders so I only fertilize a couple times in the spring.

Okay cool that's what I was thinking was everything I've heard points to don't do it too often 🤷‍♀️🧡

That's definitely an app glitch. Nothing should be fertilized every few days
