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

Am I watering too much?

Does anyone know why my pea plant’s leaves are yellow and dead towards the bottom of the plant? It may just be that it’s too hot here for them to be at their best. It’s consistently 95-100 degrees.
