Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.
How to fertilize Asian Plantain
Once the Asian Plantain has doubled in size or after a year has passed, it should be moved to a new pot. By replacing the soil with fresh potting soil containing all the vital nutrients, your plant will receive all the sustenance it needs, negating the requirement for fertilizer. It's important to remember that plants get their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.
