How to fertilize Hardee Peppertree

Nutrient, fertilizer, and repotting needs for Hardee Peppertree: repot after 2X growth

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 Hardee Peppertree after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

My rose plant is not happy. Although I know I took this plant home from my office when we were told to work from home again and was transported on one of the coldest days of the year… -45. However since then I have kept it within 1 foot of a self facing window kept extra warm and it is slowly dwindling away. I’ve included a picture of how it looks now and what it look like when I first got it and added it to my app. Any hints?
