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 Ragged Jatropha after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Jatropha Multifida (coral plant) seeds and germination My coral plant has grown fruit this year and I want to try to germinate the seeds. Anyone have any experience with this plant or just growing from seeds in general? I've only ever done vegetables from seed and alocasia from corms. I just love this plant. Its such a trooper and unique looking. Plus, the hummingbirds love her. I'd love to raise it's progeny. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #newgrowth #propagationstation #newplantmom #plantcorner #jatrophamultifida
