I myself use mostly steer manure and a dose of high potassium fertilizer from time to time.
At this time though I won't use any. for the winter is coming but if yours will be indoors then you can continue your fertilizing regimen.
Thanks! I actually have quite a bit of left over stuff from some potting I did with some pachiras and dracaena's so I;m happy to use it up with this guy

I think I'll hold off with the fertilizer until it gets adjusted to the new pot. I've read that tomatoe fertilizer is good too. What do you think?
