How to fertilize Orange Sun Star
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 Orange Sun Star after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Any advice? I live in KY, USA, is my plant done for? It's an outside potted plant that is in direct sunlight in the morning and afternoon and complete shade in the evening. Any tips to bring blooms back, I'm not sure what to do?? I'm brand new to the flower world and want to get it going but I have the worst luck! Please help if can!

Sunny has popped out a flower. She took forever to finally get a bud out, and now she has shown a few flowers. Now, she is waiting for her companions to do the same. 😁

Do I need to repot and separate my sun star plants? #happyplants#newgrowth#newplantmom So, happily, my sun start plant seemingly came back from the dead about 1.5 months ago lol. It came back looking super healthy and happy. But now I'm seeing that there are what looks like 3 separate plants growing in this pot (2.5in) and they are getting bigger than the original plant was when I bought it. Do I need to repot this in a bigger pot and do I need to separate the 3 plants? Also, will my sun star keep coming back or will it be more like most bulbs and live for a few cycles before dying? #SunStar

I brought them inside and gave them water but its beem about 2 weeks now and they dont look good. Our cat decided to play with one of the pots and knocked it over.. Is there anything i can do to get them to bloom new flowers or are they too late to get help?

As a new plant parent it’s a BUTT to take care of, but I am glad it’s survived over a year of me. In the end it’s a beautiful plant if you know what your doing. (It’s toxic to ingest though so keep away from kids and pets)

This plant has been a little bit of a learning curve for me. I have had a difficult time keeping it happy and blooming. It is very pretty when blooms are sprouted though.
