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

My plants are losing leaves and flowers? My Brompton Stock is losing flowers and my Poinsietta is losing leaves. Is this supposed to happen? They are not dried out, when I feel the petals on Bella and the leaves on Xyana they feel amazing. Very soft and kind of moist if that makes sense. They feel very healthy. Is this just dormancy taking place? I also got my brompton stock off of the clearance rack so she was already losing a lot of flowers and I understand it isn't her growing season. I keep them both away from the humidifiers but I do have a heater in the room that I have on their side since I know Xyana doesn't like the cold, no heat blowing directly towards any plants. Do most plants go into dormancy and lose their flowers and leaves during the winter? #stock #bromptonstock #poinsietta #leaves #flowers #dormancy #feelingreat #tobeornottobe

The flowers have wilted, what to do next? Hi, I’m new to this gardening thing and not very knowledgeable, so apologies beforehand for any silly questions :) My plant’s flowers have wilted and I’m not sure if this is normal or if I did anything to cause it (over/under watering) and what my next step should be. Do I leave it alone? Do I prune it? If I need to prune, how should I prune it? Thank you :)
