About Rose Meadowsweet
Rose Meadowsweet is a relatively rare houseplant 🌿 that needs regular watering to thrive. They do best in long-lasting, direct light ☀️ and should be less than 1 foot from a window.
Rose Meadowsweet likes soil that is good at retaining moisture. Your plant shouldn't need added fertilizers if you repot each time it doubles in size.

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

What's causing yellowing leaves in second year of growth? #Steeplebush All others planted last year have the same yellowing. My soil is fairly sandy and moist, but high in phosphorus and calcium. Could this be a result of alkaline soil?
