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

I went on vacation and my gull feed has grown about 4 inches into a long spiky mess. My son was watering my plants during my absence, but I’m wondering if this is normal. It is in a south facing window.

Good morning! I received this beautiful girl from my son and his girlfriend for Mother’s Day (they know me very well!) on Mayas little tag it says “annual” and I’m hoping that she’s not going to die at the end of the season! Is this indeed an annual, or can I look forward to many happy years with her?
