How to fertilize Dwarf Pittosporum

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

My wife's plant isn't looking so green as you can see. Per the advice of our local nursery I cut a branch to determine if it was still green and alive. It is. Does anyone have experience with the entire plant browning out and then getting it green again? #Kōhūhū
