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

My sweet potato vine was thriving and growing until a couple days ago when leaves started to shrink, dry and fall off. I don't see pests. Any other ideas? #SweetPotatoVine

I was just needing to make sure that this is just a sign that it got too cold and I needed to bring it in the house, and not that something worse is going on #SweetPotatoVine

Surprise Guest I reused the soil from a pot I was trying to germinate locust seeds in and apparently one of them was hiding. Finally decided to pop out all of a sudden. Odd fella 🤷♂️
