Changing soil is pertinent for plants that intake nutrients fast, actually. It really depends on what type of plants you have. Sometimes adding fertilizer instead of just changing the soil can hurt a plant rather than help it.

Then again, using the right fertilizer might be an issue if you end up killing plants off with it. I have a friend who has that issue but mainly she just doesn't take very good care of plants so she kind of gave up lol (to be fair though, she lives in a very cold climate and hasn't tried growing plants that do well in the cold i think)

I also never change soil and I have like 50+ plants. (But I don't keep my plants in soil to begin with, but in expanded clay aggregate, but I also never change that)

This is interesting! First we heard from all of the people with a black thumb who have trouble keeping plants alive, now we are hearing from the people with a green thumb who are good with plants....
I wish I had a green thumb like you guys. I tend to only do well with perennials that go outside. Indoor plants and annuals require a level of care I just don't ever end up giving them.

Omg clay! Pics please! If you don't mind that is. I haven't tried that myself just yet but it seems like it would be nice~

When I get a chance to decorate my room I'm gonna get lots of those cheap fake but cute looking plants >>;;
