    I don’t see any fertilizer pellets, only soil with perlite. If that’s the case, then that’s completely normal because perlite is super lightweight so it will rise to the top. Slow release fertilizer is typically small spheres that are colored blue or purple

      Thank you Tanya. When I looked it up I thought the perlite was fertilizer pellets. Does the soils need more worked into the soil? Or is it okay at the top like that?

      It’s fine. You could mix it up a little bit, but it would rise back to the top after a few times of being watered again

    It’s perfectly fine. You might break some roots if you mix it in.
