About Saltwort
Saltwort is a super rare houseplant 🌿 that needs regular watering to thrive. They do best in long-lasting, direct light ☀️ and should be less than 1 foot from a window.
Saltwort likes soil that is well draining. Your plant shouldn't need added fertilizers if you repot each time it doubles in size.

Saltwort love being close to bright, sunny windows 😎.

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

Wilting and weak leaves :c #CreepingJenny so I'm not quite sure how to properly take care of this plant, I spritz it every morning with my spray bottle to make sure the top layer of the dirt is wet, and I've had it for a few days now and it only seems to be doing worse. As much as I wish I knew what to do I really don't and I'd really appreciate some advice ,, I love my little guy 3 I don't know if my placement is bad or the items inside the pot are bad ,, or what's going on
