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

Why is my Nasturtium so sad looking? I water it once a week and moved it to direct sun light. (Edit, there’s Cinnamon sprinkled on top because I read that helps of prevent mold and doesn’t harm the plants)
