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

Does anyone know why some of the leaves on my sweet pea bush are turning brown and dying? I have it potted in a large wooden pot with MiracleGro soil and i water it 2 x a week. It gets full sun in my yard. What am I doing wrong? #PlantAddict #help
