How to fertilize Christia convallaria

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

How do i propagate this? #RedButterflyWing

Wish me luck! 🤞🥹 I'm attempting to get some #SwallowtailPlant seeds to germinate and grow! Everything I have read online seems to say that these are really difficult to germinate (and even propagate by cuttings) so I'm counting it as a success if even 1 of the 5 seeds germinate. 😅 I ordered a heat mat to help keep the temps in the 80s, which is what the seed seller recommended. I'm also following the method in the youtube video that the seller linked. I've got a seedling starter 'greenhouse' for once I have seedlings. 🤞 It's in the only south window I have, out in the garage... luckily, it's pretty warm (84°F) in there and will be warm throughout August. I'll keep yall posted (and mostly record for myself 😆). #newplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #rareplants? #germinationnation
