How to fertilize Oryza neocaledonica

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 Oryza neocaledonica after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Brown leaves on rice plant I noticed a couple of leaves on my #AsianRice Oryza had light tan discolorations a while ago, which I attributed to overexposure to sunlight - she was directly next to a south facing window and I was using a grow light. However, I have since moved Oryza out of direct light and two of these leaves have gotten much worse. This may be because of the unique soil I am using - Oryza was originally grown for a science project where I was testing different soil types for better plant growth. Her soil is partially Sphagnum moss, which may not be ideal for growing rice. What do you think? Should I repot in better soil, remove these leaves, or change my lighting again? Or maybe something else is wrong? I'm brand new to plant care and Greg, so any #help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
