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

Is it bad that they're changing color to red? Yeah, they weren't like this when I planted them.

Are the leaves yellowing because it's thirsty? I watered it on the 19th and then I watered it again today on the 27th because I was out of town. I think maybe I watered it too late? Can it be revived? #GrapeHyacinth
