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

My rue plant looks sad I bought this plant hoping it would grow, but it seems sick… it always wants to dry out. On Oct 1st I put some fertilizer on it and it still looks sad.

I've accidentally overwatered my rue! I replanted it on a bigger pot with dry soil and better drainage, but I don't know it will survive :( #CommonRue
