How to fertilize Clitoria
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 Clitoria after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

It is typical for leaves to fall and turn brown? #AsianPigeonwings

can anyone help me diagnose what’s wrong with my asian pigeonwings? some leaves looked spotty. it looks like it’s deep within the leaves, it’s not raised nor removable. some other leaves looks like it’s “dusty” but it’s not removable either. i’m actually pretty laidback with this one plant, but i’m worried if the pest/disease spreads to other plants.

Butterfly Pea Plant Hi, I need help identifying what is wrong with my butterfly pea plant leaves
-
Can anyone please help ID pests found on butterfly pea? #AsianPigeonwings Hey all, today I received a butterfly pea plant from FL and noticed issues with foliage. Was able to see very small pests moving about, along with honeydew, leaf damage, brown spotting, etc. I took a lot of photos showing extent of poor condition. Can anyone help ID these? In first photo, they look too small to be aphids, more like mites - or whitefly babies? I’m really not sure - any help would be appreciated.
