How to fertilize Fewleaf Sunflower

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 Fewleaf Sunflower after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Why is my sunflower sad and droopy? It has brown spots on its leaves, even new ones. I give it plenty of sun and water weekly. There was a huge cyclone here in the Phillipines. I'm not sure if it is the problem. I think i may have over watered the plant. Praying to god that my Smarty will live.

Why are my sunflower leaves drooping? Hello, im very new!! This happened to my sunflower leaves within 1 hour! They looked fine, then when i got back home, they are drooping and wilting :( their soil was dry so i watered them and still after a few hours they are wilting. Can they come back from this? Not sure what to do

Why is my sunflower so droopy? I just gave it a repot into a new pot, giving it another inch of space and drainage. Today, it's looking so droopy despite watering it yesterday and today. Did I pot it too low? #planttherapy #sunflower #beforeandafter #help
