How to fertilize Earth Apple

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 Earth Apple after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Sunflower My sunflower isn’t thriving as much! We just had a lot of rain and cloudy days in afraid she won’t survive. I repotted her and sun should come out tomorrow anything else I can try?

The leaves have curled I think because of the sun and not enough water maybe. Will it still flower? And do I need to do anything? Maybe prune the curled leaves? Please help :) #CommonSunflower
