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

Today is my cherimoya’s birthday! I started her from seed two years ago with no idea what to expect and she’s turned into such a lovely little thing :) #BeforeAndAfter #Cherimoya #HappyPlants

What’s going on with my cherimoya? I’ve had this cherimoya for almost 3 years (from seed!) and this is the first time she’s ever given me problems. She can’t survive the winters here so she’s a winter houseplant and outside all summer. I just brought her out about 2 weeks ago now that the weather is warmer… I noticed her condition declining maybe a month before I took her outside, brown crispy spots all over the leaves, crispy branch tips, and dark spots on the tender green parts of branches. They usually drop all their leaves at once and regrow them as part of their winter/spring cycle, but she didn’t do that this year. Any ideas? Suggestions? Crossing my fingers it’s not some kind of disease or fungus! #Cherimoya #RarePlants
