Hello, I’m new to plant care in general and the app says to fertilize some plants. Anyone have recommendations on type of fertilizer for any and all indoor plants?

I also use Osmocote which is a slow release fertilizer. I just put a small amount when repotting and every 6 months 😊

Oh man how often should I be reporting?

Repotting

#### Beeps replied on 2023-07-22

I think Ana means they add it when repotting and every 6 months between. Depending on the plant you should repot when the plant doubles in size, becomes root bound, or the potting medium is almost gone. This is usually every 1-2 years.

Yes! 😊 Some of my plants need repotting sooner but it’s usually small plants that I grew from babies and I try not to keep them in too big of pots so they end up over growing it a bit faster than a regular sized plant would.
