There's a common misconception that fertilizer is plant "food" that provides energy to the plant. Actually, plants make their own food - from air, water and sunlight. A fertilizer can provide building blocks that are important in growth and propagation, but it isn't food as we know it, more like a multivitamin.

Adding a fertilizer with some phosphorus the "P" in NPK, like bone meal may be a useful additive that you can mix with your soil or use immediately after repotting. The important thing is not to overdo it.

There is additional information in the ***FAQ***

Good luck!

Matt
