How to fertilize Dragon's Breath Celosia

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 Dragon's Breath Celosia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Mold on soil Hello! My Lagos Spinach has mold on the soil. It had mold on the soil before and I repotted it in a different pot with different soil. However, it has mold on it again. I’m not sure what to do :( I’m very worried and sad. I’m new to plants and I had the plant for a few months now and I don’t want it to die 😭😭
