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

Will it live? Hi everyone, I recently inherited a load of plants (lucky me) but loads of them are in terrible condition. This one Greg seems to think is a quill plant. I thought it was meant to be black and crispy, and more of a dry moss ball type thing. But now there’s some green coming through. I’ve repotted and it has some sun. Any advice? Or thoughts on what it might be? Thanks ☺️ #PinkQuillPlant
