It is important for the plant's health that you pay close attention to its feeding requirements. Controlled release fertilisers are designed specifically to work with potting mixes: a small amount of fertiliser is released each day by temperature and moisture, keeping the plant growing well. Check your potting mix packaging as some potting soil such as the Richgro range of premium potting mixes already contain a controlled-release fertiliser to supply the plant with essential nutrients for a few months after potting.
