How to fertilize Wild Pansy
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Wild Pansy after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Can anyone help me with this plant? It looks super overgrown and there are dead flowers underneath the top ones. Got it a few weeks ago. #WildPansy

Flowers are wilting but leaves are ok A few days indoors, after buying it in a store, the flowers started wilting. I am watering every other day to keep the soil moist, but I don't know if it's helping. I read somewhere here that they like direct sun and cool weather, so now they are in my balcony. What else can I do to save them? #WildPansy

Can’t really tell at this point whether it’s surviving or dying. When I first bought it it had one bloom but in the process of a week 4 more opened up! The only thing is it means it needs quite a bit more water than I’m comfortable giving it for fear of it becoming diseased so some days it looks completely dead but it perks straight up with water.

This is the flower that my three year old picked out. It had so many buds on it when we got it from Walmart (Walmart plants don’t usually last long for me). It’s survived the wind and the heavy rain we get here. We even had snow a couple of times this week and a lot more hail than I’ve seen in previous years. It still has pretty flowers on it and looks nice and healthy.
