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

Mold My mondo grass had mold growing along the top of the soil and on the stalks where they met the soil. I took them out, threw away the clumps that were completely dead, washed off all the soil and mold, sprayed them down with a hydrogen peroxide solution, and immediately repotted them in new pots with fresh soil. Should I do anything else or should they be okay? #mondograss #mold #repotting
