How to fertilize White beans
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your White beans after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Indoor black bean plant? So…I dropped a black bean on the ground while cooking and didn’t want to throw it away so I popped it in some soil without thinking and a few weeks later I have this guy 😂 what do I do with this? It’s freezing cold outside. How do I take care of it indoors? I’m guessing it will get a lot bigger?
