# Can someone help me figure out what’s going on with my friends plant?…

Can someone help me figure out what’s going on with my friends plant? The app says it’s “under fertilized” could that be the issue I was going to repot it for her but wanted to get some opinions before I did that.

Check if it’s root bound. That’s a large plant for such a small pot. Maybe the soil can’t hold enough fertilizer. What type, how often , and how much fertilizer is being used? How many hours of light does it get

Ok so from what she told she’s never fertilized it🤦🏽‍♀️ lol so I’m that’s part of the problem and it get a descent amount of light (I’d think) since it’s in a NW window but she did get a new nursery pot for it so I can repot it for her tonight.

Fertilizing is necessary to keep houseplants healthy. Use 50% diluted fertilizer in colder months when plants grow slower and need less nutrients. I would fertilize once a month until spring. Then, twice a month. I use diluted fertilizer all year because most of my plants don’t need it stronger. You may have to increase the application in warmer weather depending on the plant. 🍀🪴
