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

The leaves on our mahogany are delvioimg dry brown spots, then yellowing and falling off. Why is this happening? There’s plenty of indirect light, I water lightly once a week. Help! #NatalMahogany
