How to fertilize Caribbean Copper Plant
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Caribbean Copper Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Can anyone identify this plant and give me tips on care? I was told this pot has two plants. The shorter, ground cover-looking one is supposedly called “ogon stonecrop” and the taller one is supposed to be “euphorbia bonfire.” I’m much more interested in the euphorbia bonfire. I can’t find much info in it. Please help. #Euphorbia
