How to fertilize Curved Riceflower

Nutrient, fertilizer, and repotting needs for Curved Riceflower: repot after 2X growth

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 Curved Riceflower after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Why is my plant yellowing from the bottom up? So I have a Pimelea Magenta Mist, it’s native to victoria, and i’ve been keeping it inside my greenhouse during winter. It’s been fine and have a lot of new growth on top but recently all the bottom leaves have started yellowing and with observation over the last couple weeks, the yellowing just keeps getting higher up the plant. I recently fertilised it to try and fix the issue and it doesn’t seem to have made a difference. Any advice?
