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

White Stuff??? Hello fellow plant lovers! I was wondering if any of you know what wrong with my catnip plant? I recently bought it & repotted it, but now there is white stuff on a bunch of the leaves. This is my first catnip plant, so I’m not sure if this is normal?? I tried wiping it off but it didn’t work. I have never had this happen to any of my other plants so I have no idea what it is or how to treat it if it’s something bad. Absolutely any suggestions would be much appreciated!! - PlantLuvRgrl

I’m thinking one of the neighbor cats damaged it. I don’t know if I should cut it or if that’s even a good spot to cut it. But it’s just not coming back. I have it under a grow light as it’s cloudy today. My seedlings are doing well if this fails. #Catnip

Is it normal for catnip to be this much of a drama queen? We had a couple days of rain and clouds and it’s droopy. I changed the pot and soil to better draining. Just hoping he perks back up. #Catnip

Hello! My #Catnip is droopy. It has these tiny blooms growing, except it looks very glum. What should I do? I think the sprinklers were running right on the plant, so I moved it. Are the sprinklers watering it too much or is there something else going wrong?

Why does she look so sad? :( #Catnip The catnip I'm growing for my cat (Bean and Cheese Taco) has started wilting in some areas. She has enough light and water and she has some plant food. Is it like a fertilizer issue?

Is this plant better indoors or out? #Catmint

He is pale with tiny leaves. He is inside under a grow light because of the severe heat outside. Is he getting too much light maybe? #Catnip
