Watering & Care
Soil Requirements:
The Forever Rich Plant thrives in well-draining soil, ideally with a sandy texture. It can also grow in rocky soil.
Watering Needs:
Minimal watering is essential, similar to succulents. Water every other day under regular conditions, and reduce frequency during rainy or colder seasons. During extremely hot weather, you may need to water twice daily.
Signs of Watering Issues:
- Overwatering: Look for leggy, soft leaves, yellowing foliage, mushy bulbs, and browning edges.
- Underwatering: Signs include dry, wilting, and browning leaves.
Rescue Tips:
If your Forever Rich Plant shows signs of overwatering, reduce watering and place it outside in bright, indirect sunlight for 3 to 4 hours a day. Adjust watering as necessary for under-watered plants to restore their health.
Plant Food
For optimal growth, consider applying a balanced liquid fertilizer every two months for ground-planted specimens, and monthly for potted versions. This will help your Forever Rich Plant flourish.
