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

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
