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

What Is This? #CommonChickweed #HairyJoyweed #identify #help I bought this plant without having any idea what it is, but I'm fairly positive that Greg has misidentified it. Any idea what this is? It is still really small (I got it as an inch tall starter), but it seems to not like direct sun, and is very dramatic when it needs to be watered- once a week, or it faints. Thoughts?
