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

Rosemary Plant Care My Rosemary plant does have some green still even tho you can’t really tell from the picture but it is completely burned. It doesn’t like any conditions. It was wilted and soft like it was needing more sun and less water and now it’s fried. I just moved it so it’s only indirectly in the plant light. It didn’t like being outside either. I gave it plant food. I don’t know what else I could have done. Idk if I can save it but does anyone have any rosemary plant tips for the future.

Unsure what’s wrong with my rosemary I got the rosemary from Home Depot, and repotted in a terracotta pot with mix of cactus soil, perlite and sand. It’s been 6 weeks, it was healthy and soil mix is draining well. From last week, noticing that the leaves are drying out. Can some one help with how to revive it and get through the fall and winter.

Fertilize What do you use to fertilize your rosemary? Mine is not looking too great so I am thinking of re-potting and fertilizing.

Hello plant parents. Happy Tuesday #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #OrchidLovers

Lower leaves curl inwards. Have removed them. Cannot seem to get plant to keep producing leaves that are healthy. Either they curl inwards and go dry, or the lower leaves turn a little yellow. Has been hot here in Australia last few days (30c +}. #Sage #NewGrowth #HappyPlants #PlantTherapy
