How to fertilize varigated Vanilla Orchid

Nutrient, fertilizer, and repotting needs for varigated Vanilla Orchid: 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 varigated Vanilla Orchid after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Happy #FreshLeafFriday ! I have been seeing 👀 some #NewGrowth in my Oasis. I just rescued a not so happy looking #AlocasiaBambino from Trader Joe’s the other day , however this morning I just noticed new growth. My #PhilodendronSpiritusSancti is doing extremely well with her soft shiny new leaf almost fully open still waiting for her for the tiny end tip to unfold. I won her on a #PrettyinGreen auction. I’m still waiting on my #lechuzaPon to get here so I can finally repot her and left her roots stretch. My extremely slow 🐌 growing #VarigatedVanillaOrchid has pushed out a new baby leaf 🙌🏼. Hopefully someday she will get big enough and 🌼bloom for me. Now on the other hand my #MonsteraPinnatipartita is growing like a weed ….. it’s #freshleafeveryday for her🤪. I need to add another moss poll because she’s climbed her way off her 2 foot pole. She’s now almost 4 feet tall 😭They sure do grow up fast 🥹 she’s will be passing me up in no time. 🫶🏼 Well you all have a great #FreshLeafFriday !!! #CaliforniaGregGang #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #GregGang #AlocasiaAddicts #Monstera #OrchidLovers #PhilodendronSpiritusSancti #rarephilodendrons #RarePlants

🧐 Troubleshooting

When troubleshooting a sad-looking houseplant, start by checking for signs of distress in its leaves, such as yellowing, browning, or drooping, which can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies.

Inspect the soil moisture; too dry or too wet soil can cause problems.

Ensure the plant is getting the right amount of light, as too much or too little can stress it.

Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.
