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

My rosemary is leaning Hi!! I’ve had my rosemary for a while, my grandma gave her to me, however it’s grown a LOT and it’s leaning. I’m afraid it will snap the roots or something, it looks like it’s gonna run away. What’s the best option to hold it in place? Or do I let her lean? Sorry if this is a stupid question lol #Rosemary #Leaning

Is there a way to make this rosemary rise up? I got this rosemary for a week and I know the pot is having a small mouth but the body is actually very long, but I did check on the roots, they look white and strong, long as well. I made a mistake of watering it too frequently but I had stopped it, which was 2 days ago. Since the weather at my place was gloomy and still pretty cold, I have the rosemary inside (24°C) and an indoor growing light installed 2 days ago. Please let me know if I can do anything- I also checked the soil, it is very drainage. Thanks #rosemary #droopy #wilted

Crispy Hey! So my leaves are getting 'crispy' and are starting to fall off, and I have no idea why. Can anyone give me some tips?

Is this some sort of root rot or just natural browning #outdoorgrowing #floweringplants #newplantmom #rootrot Ok so this is my blood sage (saliva coccina) and I was wondering if theres something wrong with it because theres some browning and its a lot smaller than when I first got it. Im wondering if the soil isn't well draining enough because I just got some cheap potting soil at home depot. Should I get some sand/perlite and add it to the soil or should I just leave it be and see what happens as to not shock it?

Willow has now gone outdoors to be in more sun since it’s cooler and to let her grow and maybe harvest a little bit later
