# How do you like to fertilize your succulents? I have two that I…

_Posted by ana on 2025-08-01_

How do you like to fertilize your succulents? I have two that I bottom-water, but they're pretty small, and my liquid fertilizer recommends diluting an ounce in a gallon, so should I just use that ratio and scale it down?

I just use rabbit poop I know what’s in it😂

I use Schultz succulent/cactus. But if yours is okay for them, just scale down the dilution.

I do a tiny amount of liquid succulent and cactus fertilizer!

I have a concentrate that says 7 drops for 4L so I just fill a big bottle and keep it for watering as needed. I also keep another 15L bottle for my “gnat tea” since the mosquito bits need to steep for 24hrs.

Then I just pour either water option in my watering can and bottom water my plants with.

I use some Epsom salt to 1/3 ratio more water

For my snake plant and other plants and they like it do it one time the day you fertilize
