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

Little update on little Crocus buddy :) after 11 or so days of being our new friend he has grown a lot! We expected him to be white, but he surprised us with his little purple flowers that are almost blooming! I am so excited to see him bloom and change! #crocus #springcrocus #newgrowth

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

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
