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

Help????? #GardenNasturtium #help #seedlings Soil is moist They are planted in a self watering pot The mini green house was extremely moist in full sun Weather is hot and and weird atm in south australia (supposed to be autumn but we keep getting hot spells) I mix in some we the wild support pellets into the soil as well as mosquito bits to make sure no fungus gnat larvae get them (this garden has a fungus gnat problem)

What is wrong with my plant #GardenNasturtium Please help. This plant is dying. It is outside.

Why is my Nasturtium so sad looking? I water it once a week and moved it to direct sun light. (Edit, there’s Cinnamon sprinkled on top because I read that helps of prevent mold and doesn’t harm the plants)

Droopy yellow leaves #GardenNasturtium I noticed my nasturtium started drooping over the weekend. This was after a couple of very sunny days. I thought the soil (compost and vermiculit) was a bit dry and gave it a small bit of water which I usually do once every weekend anyway. This morning it hadn't improved so I gave it more water than usual (using the amount per the app) now the leaves have started to turn yellow. Any ideas?

Nasturtium added to the plant family today. I didn’t know they were hanging pot friendly, but I’m excited to see how she does in these warmer months‼️🌱🫡🩵 #HappyPlants #PlantAddict

I have never been able to keep a flower alive but this flower was my first. They are really beautiful flowers with unique and amazing petals. It’s very easy to over water or under water them and their pot cannot be too small or else they will not bloom. Other than that they are easy plants that are super fun to have around.

Watering this plant is the trickiest part! Greg helps with this though, but also the blooms die easily if they aren’t watered right so be careful!

if you purchase jumbo seeds, the plant will get super big, super fast. i had to use a paintbrush in the soil to make sure it stayed up, but now the plant itself is strong enough to stand up on its own. i dont water it too often (maybe once every two days), and i really love the appearance of this plant, although it hasnt sprouted any flowers yet.

Beautiful, edible plant. It’s easy to collect the seeds and grow more. There are many varieties, and they are great as companion plants to lots of food crops. Put the leaves and flowers in a salad for some spice!
