How to fertilize λ¨νμμμ

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 itβs likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your λ¨νμμμ after it doubles in size or once a yearβwhichever comes first.

Soil
λ¨νμμμ does best in well-draining soil. A good soil will contain lots of organic matter such as coco coir as well as perlite or vermiculite to help with drainage. Adding a handful of perlite to regular store-bought potting soil should do the trick!
Fertilizer
λ¨νμμμ grows very slowly and doesnβt require added fertilizer. Replacing your plantβs potting soil once a year should provide them with more than enough nutrition. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!
