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

Should I water after repotting? Her soil was still moist and I kept a lot of the original soil, just filling up the new pot with my own mix where needed. Her stems are pretty droopy right now, probably from repotting. Not sure if I should water her a bit if her soil is already moist. According the the app it says I watered 2 days ago, but that’s when I actually bought the plant and brought it home. Also Greg says this is a Lenten Rose, but according the label it’s a Helleborus Ice N Roses hybrid. Is that pretty much the same thing? #LentenRose #Helleborus #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #BalconyPlants #OutdoorGrowing #outdoorplants
