Normal fertilizing
Approximately every second week during the main growing season.
Much fertilizing
During the main growing season (in Europe from April to August) every time when watering.

Attention „winter growers“: Othonna, Sarcocaulon, Tylecodon
These plants should be fertilized only once per month in September, October and March. Never fertilize during the month of November, December, January or February. The light conditions are too poor. Similar treatment is recommended for the genus Pelargonium. Although these plants will like some more fertilizer.
