if you can find a good pelleted time release fertilizer like Osmacote or Schultz, not sure if they are available in Hungary, look for an N-P-K of 12-12-12 or 20-20-20. usually a pelleted variety will last about 3 months. another formula that is good is 9-3-27 or a 6-2-12, again may be hard to find but any fertilizer with a K value higher than N should work. you can always use soluble fertilizer instead of pellet.

you can never go wrong with a 20-20-20. follow the instructions on the package, they will generally have a recommended outdoor and indoor amounts to use.

once you bring plant inside cut back on the fertilizer by at least 50%.
