How to fertilize Namibian Grape

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 Namibian Grape after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Just in time for #FreshLeafFriday, my #SwissCheeseVine, #PhiloBrasil, and #PeruvianGrapeIvy are all putting out new growth. The philo was the one plant from my #GregPlantShop pothos 4-pack that struggled in the beginning. I’m glad to see it thriving!

Why no new growth? My Cissus discolor has been in stasis since I brought her home. I keep her moisturized, and she's near a humidifier. Not one new leaf. What am I not doing? #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict

Some of the leaves are drying up & stems are brown. Not the whole plant, just some. I followed the directions the day I got it too. #GrapeIvy

My Rex Begonia Vines keeps trying to 💀. I don’t know what else I can try. Any one have any ideas?

Rex Begonia Vine I’ve had this about 2 months. In a north window, east windows are open but approx 12 feet away. I water around every 10 days. Leaves have slowly lost color and are dying and falling off. Any thoughts?? Note - today it’s cloudy out so not as bright as usual
-
Thanks to all the ones who told me to move my Piper closer to a window. I was concerned when she hadn't done anything after I got her. But after moving her, she has some new growth coming in! Appreciate the advice! 😊 #plantaddict #plantsmakepeoplehappy #piperpals

What do you do about dying vines? I’ve only had my cicadas discolor for just over a month. She’s putting out tons of new leaves and vines. At the same time, the older leaves are slowly fading down older vines. Should I let this happen until the vine has no leaves and leave the vine alone? Should I cut at a node further up to encourage new growth? I’m not sure the best way to handle this transition. Also, look how big these leaves are 😍 #Cissusdiscolor #RexBegoniaVine #cissus #help #NewGrowth

I just bought this little guy and half the leaves crisped up and the rest wilted over. so I gave I water and put it under a plant light and gave it plant food but idk what’s wrong with it #GrapeIvy
-
Uggh #GrapeIvy a year in and this is all I got! This plant has been moved more times than me in grade school. Grow light, sunlight, non direct light, humidity no humidity, classical music, spankings and kisses and nothing. Also feed it. Uggh is all I got.
