How to fertilize Saxifraga Cuneifolia
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 Saxifraga Cuneifolia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

This guy was so root bound when I got him that his root ball was sopping wet. Repotted last week and he appears to have survived. 🤞 #StrawberryBegonia #HangingPlants

Little leaf got a new home! I'm impressed with his growth! This is from two pieces (whatever you call the babies that hang down....?) That my cat chewed at from Circ when I first bought it 🙄 now he is like 4 times it's size!

Strawberry Plant Dying Most of the leaves turned brown and fell off, and now the last two leaves are starting to turn brown. It seems to of put all its energy into that one strawberry. It’s a self watering planter so all I do is fill the bottom when it’s empty and sprits the top of the soil when it gets dry. I moved it to a window with more direct sunlight. I’m not sure what else to do

Begonia Species I was gifted some begonia babies and need help identifying! I was thinking Rex but no idea which one, of course the babes look like Strawberry 🥴. Here are photos of the babes and mom. #begonia (they are listed on their own in the app so I just tagged one) 🌱 #NewEnglandGregGang 🌱 #MaineGang 🌱 #ThePlantMompy

What's wrong with my Strawberry Begonia?? I've recently noticed that my little strawberry begonia has become floppy and the leaves have become soft. I watered it to see if it would perk back up but even after a day, there is no improvement. I've had it sitting under a grow light with a couple other younger plants, all of which are completely fine. The new growth is still going strong. What do I do?? Can it still be saved?? This is my first strawberry begonia so I have no idea what to do.

Does this plant need an outdoor cold period to reflower? #MossySaxifrage
