How to fertilize Canterbury Bells

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

Nightmare campanula ! Hiya, wonder if anyone can tell me where I’m going wrong with my indoor campanula? It’s placed in pretty good sunlight, currently being watered every 5-6 days. I’ve struggled to find a water schedule as it dropped all of its flowers within weeks of purchase and I’m really confused what the problem is? Lately the leaves are looking a bit miserable too. Is it overwatered or too close to sunlight?? (Attached is before and after)

Why did Trader Joe’s fail me? I broke rules. I didn’t check the roots until after my trip. When I came home, all the little flowers had shriveled 😔. This is what I found strangling the roots. This stuff was tough. I also gave her new soil. Do you think Laverne will recover? 🤞🥺 #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

🪴 Soil
Canterbury Bells 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
Canterbury Bells should be repotted after it doubles in size or once a year, whichever comes first. Fresh potting soil has all the nutrients your plant needs, so as long as it’s refreshed yearly, you shouldn’t need to use fertilizer. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!
