How to Fertilize heart's ease?

For optimal growth, fertilize johnny jump up every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with a high phosphorus fertilizer to encourage vibrant blooms. Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength to prevent nutrient burn. During winter, reduce feeding to once every 8-10 weeks. Over-fertilization can lead to lush foliage with fewer flowers. Adjust quantities according to the plant's response, and always water thoroughly after fertilizing to help nutrients reach the roots.
