How to fertilize ๊ฐํ๊ฐ
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 itโs likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your ๊ฐํ๊ฐ after it doubles in size or once a yearโwhichever comes first.

Need some seedling help! I planted this catnip from seed and it's grown lots so I've trimmed some of the large leaves of and then some more to make the middle stock of each bush more prominent. What I need help with is how to properly either leave this plant alone or regularly trim it so it can be a nice big bush for my kitty! #catnip #help #seedling

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

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

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 it normal for catnip to be this much of a drama queen? We had a couple days of rain and clouds and itโs 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?
