How to fertilize Spring Crocus
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 Spring Crocus after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

My spring Corcus gave beautiful green leaves but did not flower. Now the leaves have dried out completely. They look like hay. What did I do wrong? #SpringCrocus

First time for me caring for spring corcus. The weather here is turning cold. Should I bring my corcus indoors or does it withstand the cold. Thoughts please🙏 #SpringCrocus

some early bloomers thanks to this crazy weather we have here in NC! Things are blooming a little early because the weather has warmed up a bit recently… it’s supposed to drop again this weekend 😒 but I’m thankful for the sun we have had lately. Do any of you guys do outdoor gardening? My mom is a pro at it, she plants all her bulbs in the winter, and starts her seeds inside under grow lights so they are stronger & bigger come spring. I’m excited for the new possibilities this year, we recently got two trees cut down, so there is a lot more sun in garden beds that used to be shade beds. I’m so ready to have my plants outside again where they can thrive! #OutdoorGrowing #hyacinth #SpringCrocus #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants #Blooming #NewGrowth

New sprouts coming in! My little #SaffronCrocus plants have apparently survived the winter (and being dug up by my cats 🙄) and are starting to sprout! I’m so excited 🥳! #EdiblePlants #HappyPlants #MaybeItWillLive
