Is 6 months long enough?

[gtc]

So I bought a potted tropical hibiscus about 6 months ago so that I may eventually feed my greek some exotic treats The people at the store told me that the plant was imported from China, and since Norway is pretty much on the other side of the world I guessed that the plant was probably sprayed with pesticides quite heavily.

As soon as I bought the plant I took it out of the pot, washed the roots, re-potted into organic soil and so began the waiting game. 6 months have passed now and the plant is still flowering and going strong.

I have read different opinions about how long one should wait before store bought plants are safe. Should I wait another 6 months or can I start feeding the flowers/leaves now?

I would say you can feed it to him 6 months should be good .

I wholly agree, if you have any lingering doubts just feed new growth, like that from the past several weeks.

That's how long I wait, too, as a rule. Six months. And you changed the soil also, so that was a good thing to do. Yay! : )
