How to fertilize African Senna

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 African Senna after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Does anyone else have an African Senna? It smells *just* like a movie theater!! 🍿 I love the shape of the leaves and it blooms pretty yellow flowers. I have him out on my back porch right now and he seems happy! ☺️ #africansenna #popcorntree #tree #porchplants #greggang #gregfeedback #greggers #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy
