Nutrient, fertilizer, and repotting needs for Jungle diva 'Roxie': 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 Jungle diva 'Roxie' after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

For any brave souls who have a #GeogenanthusCiliatus here is a little update on mine. I’ve found it extremely hard to keep happy. Even on a pebble tray and next to a humidifier, the leaves got crispy and I cut most of them off. So far it’s a #NeverAgainPlant for me and does not spark joy. Have had some success using LECA with my Calathea so I figured I’d try with the Geo and see how it goes. Has anyone else tried this? #Geogenanthus #semihydroponics #PlantAddict #leca
