How to fertilize Breadfruit

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 Breadfruit after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Misidentification... Greg mistook my jackfruit for avocado. How do I fix it?
-
Direct or indirect sun? Greetings! It's me, the trouble child again 🙈 Just to clarify, what kind of sunlight does Jack prefer, direct or indirect? Also, maybe it's just me, but I don't think he's exactly easy, he's been my most complicated cranky one yet 😅 #Jackfruit

Dropping leaves Help! Jack is turning into a stick. What do I do? #Jackfruit
-
I pinched off the tip of the new growth to encourage new division as suggested, but now the place where I pinched is ‘bleeding’ little drops of white sap; did I injure Diana? Am I a bad plant mommy?? 🥺 #Breadfruit
-
When do I repot? #Jackfruit Or do I repot ASAP?
