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

Trying to identify this plant. Please help… Is this a bindweed or an ivy? I was able to take a cutting and put it in water that I change frequently. It eventually sprouted roots. The leaves have spade types and English ivy looking morphed types… very strange.
