How to fertilize Watermelon Begonia

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 Watermelon Begonia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Help identifying: peperomia? So I’ve had this plant for a long time and idk what she is. I don’t think it’s an aluminum plant like the app thinks. #HappyPlants

Hey #GregGang ! Got a plant I didn’t even know existed! So I just got some good news and with them, came a gift! #PlantMail My aunt sent me this BEAUTIFUL specimen that I didn't even know existed - it's a #Pellionia Repens, or Watermelon Pellionia. Look at the color of the leaves and the way they fall down! They also feel like velvet to the touch! I'm going to put it on a hanger soon, to watch it let its beautiful colors take over - and it will be a nice contrast to my other hangers, which will be Peperomias. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy
