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

Any ideas on what the spots are on the leaves? Hi there, I recently got this plant and it was apparently imported and may have suffered a bit with transportation. It has these dry spots (?) on the leaves and just want to see if anyone else has had this show up on their plant. Tips getting this plant happier would be appreciated too!

Does anyone know what kind of plant this is? (The one listed is not right)

Does anyone know what this plant is been looking forever They all died and I’d like to replace them but I don’t know what they are called

Do any of y'all find that the app asks you to water way more often that's needed? Example: my dischidia dragon jade I water only every few months but asks me to water every week

New to app Hi Greg community! I am brand new to the app, but not to plants. Before I deep dive and add all my plants to this app, I have a question about the watering. No matter what size container or when I watered last, all the plants I have added so far have an upcoming watering “in five days.” I am wondering if that will adjust based on the plant needs or is it a generic once a week water requirement. I am still searching for a plant app that works for me. I love the community part of this app but I also like to have each plant requirements listed. Tell me what you love about Greg that makes it better than other apps. I added a picture of my daughter’s Watermelon plant Flora that I keep teasing her I am going to steal. I have my own but hers is gorgeous. Pic just for interest. Thanks!
