If fertilizing with the little pellets which (says feeds for up to 6 mos) which option do I use, water or sticks? Its only those 2 options. Which option do you use?

I’m also in similar situation. My succulent fertilizer says every 100 days. So I’ve just been putting it in my cell calendar.

Ah ok! Ty!

There is a custom fertilizing schedule option.  
If you go to a specific plant and open “edit plant settings” only a few options down is “custom care schedule” if you select that you can turn on the custom schedule under “fertilizing schedule”.  
This should allow you to change the fertilizing prompt to work for your specific method of fertilizing that plant.

(If you use the custom care schedule I don’t think it matters if you select sticks or liquid as long as you don’t turn off fertilizing notifications.)

Got it! Ty!

The custom only goes up to 2 months. I need 100 days.

I didn’t realize they had a time cap like that. That does limit its usefulness 🫤
