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

My wife's plant isn't looking so green as you can see. Per the advice of our local nursery I cut a branch to determine if it was still green and alive. It is. Does anyone have experience with the entire plant browning out and then getting it green again? #Kōhūhū
