I’m getting miracle grow plant food so I can start using a fertilizer but should I get a specific fertilizer for my succulents or do they get a fertilizer?

They do have a specific fertilizer… I use Miracle Grow Succulent Plant Food

Oh awesome!! I’m so glad I asked!

#### Alyssa ha respondido el 2023-06-22

How often do you give it to them?

#### LearningPlantMom ha respondido el 2023-06-22

It depends on what type of succulent you have… mind telling me?

#### Alyssa ha respondido el 2023-06-22

I have multiple. I have a string of pearls, string of dolphins. And some other random ones that I don’t know the names of.

But they usually like to be fed once in spring and then once in summer.

I give mine leftover coffee lol. No issues so far and I’ve been doing it over a year

#### Alyssa ha respondido el 2023-06-23

Everyday? How often?

#### Edward ha respondido el 2023-06-29

Not every day. Maybe every other watering.

I give mine Biogold. It’s originally for bonsai but it works great for other plants, especially succulents. For a six inch pot, I add two nuggets and let them sit for six weeks before replacing. 💚

Thank you!!

Penny L I have succulents in 2 inch pots and some like a Z plants and a spider plant in a 4 inch pot. How much would I use of the bio gold?
