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

How often should I water my plant #ItalianParsley

My plant have definitely seen better days... Could it be that I have over watered it? #ItalianParsley

Why is my Cilantro yellowing? I got this Cilantro a while back and it was fine until a few days ago when it started to yellow. I’ve tried watering it more, putting it on the Sun and now it’s been sitting on the shade. None of my other plants seem to be yellowing or having any problems. I don’t know what to do! (Please ignore it being in another pot… I’m currently staying with my Father-In-Law due to some issues with my electricity and there isn’t many spaces with shade) #PlantAddict #NewPlantMom #HappyPlants

Is this powdery mildew? I tried rubbing it off and it seems more like the leaves themselves have turned color rather than something on them #ItalianParsley

Wilted yellow leaves Hi I'm new here and just had a hurricane followed by maybe 5 days of rain and my plants aren't doing too well and I think they might have gotten too much water. I took them inside for the hurricane but didnt realize how much rain was happening after. Theres a lot of yellow and some wilting onna few. Can anyone confirm if that's the issue with these? (Sorry if it looks like spam I'm about to have to post this same thing but for each plant)

Yellowing leaves. For all my plants I measure the watering needs with a wooden skewer. Do the same for Elvis here. I ckd, it's still very damp but not wet. I don't believe that I overwater and although Greg says it's time to water I will snooze it. #ItalianParsley

Greg tells me to water my parsley once every 10 days or so. But every time I don't water it for two or three days it gets all droopy and seems like it's starving for water. Maybe I have it miss-labeled? #ItalianParsley

I struggle with parsley and cilantro they are just so easy to kill. My first attempt got root rot but my second batch browned. The sweet spot is tender but if you can hit it you can grow a ton
