How much fertilizer did you add? If it was an amount you would typically use for things like tropical houseplants, I’d probably recommend flushing the substrate by top watering to be safe. If you’re in the northern hemisphere, I would especially recommend this, as they’ll be even more sensitive as we enter winter!

I'd flush it with water.
