Frodoanswered grow question 5 years ago Being in the pot, the plant will sooner or later need nutrients. If it's a good potting soil, you should be affixed the first 2 months, then you need to give it a little nut. If you don't want to waste time with plants, or if you can't go there often, you can put organic fertilizer in granules on the ground and then the rain and irrigations will do the rest.
