How to fertilize Golden Flame Snake Plant
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Golden Flame Snake Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I love thrifting for Cachepots or any pots for my plants. Here is my most recent find. #thriftstorefinds

What is going on with my snake plants? I'm having a couple of my snake plants look really sad. They start with one leaf that gets droopy and loses its rigidity, will start browing from near the base, then suddenly it and a bunch more fall off. This is the third one that has done this to me. What am I doing wrong? Is it a fungus spreading root rot?! Images of the core where 3 shoots fell off from. #dracaena

Dracaena growing brown I’ve been trying to save this guy for nearly a year now. He just wont grow out. Any new growth he does muster comes out brown from the start. He is in a peat mix, plenty of drainage & lots of indirect light. Not sure where I’m going wrong? Any help would be overly appreciated:) #Dracaena #brownleaves

I recently took in this very sick snake plant. Any advice on how to make it happier? I went ahead and changed out the soil immediately to something a bit more drier than what it was sitting in. Thanks in advance. #Dracaena
