How to fertilize Argyle Apple

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

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

Argyle Apple is generally considered an easy-to-care-for plant and makes a great choice for beginners!

Sunlight Needs
Argyle Apple requires abundant, bright and direct light. Place it less than one foot from a window to ensure it receives enough light to survive 💪. Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement in your home 🏡.
Toxicity
Argyle Apple is extremely dangerous if consumed. If you, a family member, or a pet has ingested any amount of plant material contact Poison Control, US (800) 222-1222, or your veterinarian immediately. Argyle Apple is not recommended for homes with children, cats, or dogs.
Humidity
Argyle Apple doesn’t require additional humidity. Plants absorb most water through their root system rather than their leaves, so the best way to provide humidity for your plants is through watering the soil.
Soil
Argyle Apple does best in well-draining soil. A good soil will contain lots of organic matter such as coco coir as well as perlite or vermiculite to help with drainage. Adding a handful of perlite to regular store-bought potting soil should do the trick!
Fertilizer
Argyle Apple is a fast growing plant and may deplete the nutrients in its soil over time. Replenish them with a gentle organic fertilizer or compost every 1-2 months depending on your location and season. Fertilize more often during the growing season and in warmer and brighter climates.
