How to fertilize Ipomoea Quamoclit

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 Ipomoea Quamoclit after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

So this has been one of my favorite plants see grow this summer! I took a cutting from my grandmothers #SweetPotatoVine in her yard and have been enjoying it as an indoor Plant. What plants do you love that are considered under rated?

Is this color change healthy? My #SweetPotatoVine is a cutting taken from an outdoor plant. It’s very well rooted and gives new leaves. Currently it’s under an LED 1500 w lamp. I see the leaves turning a purple color and while I do love how it looks I was wondering why it’s happening and if it’s an indication that is won’t thrive as an indoor plant. #PlantAddict #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

Are these annuals that will die even though I brought mine inside? #CommonMorningglory

Are these aphid eggs #aphids #sweetpotatovine My sweet potato plant has been recovering from a green aphid infestation that caused him to lose all his leaves over winter (or maybe he was just hibernating lol). I ended up treating it with a pyrethrin solution at the start of spring, and he's doing great now, growing super fast. I have, however, noticed these odd protruding dots on some of his leaves. I read that aphids only lay eggs in winter, but I am not sure what else these could be. Does anyone know if these are actually eggs, and how I should help my plant out with this?

New plant Here’s another one that’s new and I’m killing it 😞 don’t know if I should try putting it outside or what? It’s right next to a South facing window. Help please!

Why are the leaves brown Hello, I’m needing some help with figuring out what’s going on with my Doja Cat. She’s an oriental sweet potato vine that I propagated from a cutting. I had her outdoors for the most part since I started propagating her but moved her inside because her leaves kept getting brown and falling off. Was the sun the cause? I’ve only had her inside for a few days but she’s a lot perkier and doesn’t require as much water. Thanks a lot. #SweetPotatoVine #HappyPlants
