How to fertilize Episcia 'Pink Panther'

Nutrient, fertilizer, and repotting needs for Episcia 'Pink Panther': repot after 2X growth

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 Episcia 'Pink Panther' after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Pink Panther plant, Should I repot or wait ? Hello my lovely plant friends! I'm brand new to the app and finding my way around. I'm not new to plants, just starting completely over and getting my collection going after not having any for 6+ years. I used to have a lot of luck with African violets, and even successful at starting new ones from my grandma plant. I am, however, new to Pink panther plants. It reminds me of the African violet . My question for you is, this pretty girl is brand new. She just arrived yesterday and the pot I was planning to put her in is a 7" pot, which will swallow her tiny self whole 😂. Should I leave her in the current 2" pot for a little while and allow some growth or go ahead and repot to the big one? I know with African violets they prefer to be a tad root bound. Any input would be greatly appreciated. #happyplants, #newplantmom
