When and how often do you fertilize a cup primer?
The goblet primrose is fertilized only before and during flowering. As soon as the first leaves sprout, add a phosphorus-rich fertilizer to the irrigation water. Reduce the dosage in half. Once the plant has withered, you must not fertilize it.
If you have replanted the goblet primrose in spring, you must not fertilize it in the first few months.

The plant is best replanted in the spring after the end of the winter break. The new pot should not be much bigger than the previous one. Shake off the old substrate well when tamping the cup Primrose.
