Fertilizer is unnecessary since it is best to throw the plant away after flowering. It is more often found in late winter and early spring. It loves bright, indirect light but not full sun. The soil may dry out between thorough watering, but do not let the foliage wilt. No fertilizer is needed since most folks discard the plant after flowering.
Some plants are toxic to humans and animals.
