I need advice on my potted bleeding heart plant.?

Nothings really wrong with it but I want advice on how to take care of it from EXPERIANCED people who own a bleeding heart plant themselves who have great %26amp; needed advice. I really don't want people coping things from websites, I did that already and thats not what I'm asking for.





Oh and a second thing: i heard that you must repot your plant in a few years... can i avoid doing it, the pot i have now is pretty big but my friend told me it should still be repotted in a few years because it might not be big enough.





Thanks to all who answer!!

I need advice on my potted bleeding heart plant.?
I have several bleeding heart plants in my garden - they like shade, and do best with moderately moist soil. The cooler and shadier the spot you put your bleeding heart in, the happier it will be and the longer you will get leaves and blossoms. However, all bleeding hearts go through a dormancy period after flowering and the foliage will get pale and eventually yellow, wither, and die. Continue to ensure that the soil stays moist, even when the leaves have died back, etc. Don't cut it back until the leaves are all yellow. Then you can cut it back to just an inch or two above the ground. Keep it moist and well fed, and next spring, you should have sprouts start up in the pot again.





It probably is a good idea to repot it every couple of years, not so much because of the size of the pot, but because of the soil. Bleeding hearts are woodland plants that prefer a very rich soil full of organic nutrients from plenty of leaf mulch, etc., and will tend to suck all the nutrients out of your potting medium. So it would be a good idea to replace the dirt in the pot with fresh potting soil every once in awhile, even if you do not change pots.





Hope this helps - enjoy your beautiful bleeding heart!
Reply:My parents lived in the midwest, my Mom had her "bleeding heart" plant outdoors all the years I lived in that house (grew up there). The plant was on the north side of the house. In winter the plant dies down so she would mulch it. Other than that occasionally she would feed all her plants with a little miracle-gro and then bug spray all her plants. I don't know even that a "bleeding heart" is supposed to be an indoor plant, nor do I know that it needs special care or repotting. I suppose if you live in apartment then that's why you're asking. Usually a plant is repotted when it looks stuffed in or when it starts to show signs on it's leaves.
Reply:Plant it outside. Just cut it down in the fall. Even my sister didn't kill her's. We live in Wisconsin, with maybe 4 weeks of summer!
