Default Re: Need a recommendation on what to do next

You guys are all awesome, thank you very much for the fast reply!

Yes, the photo with me is recent, taken over the weekend. I've hopefully included a closer picture in this post showing the bunch, and the one and only yellow leaf remaining hiding behind it. The leaves on the mother simply stopped growing, the stem looks browner, and the purple flower hasn't opened up. The closeup photo is of the other two offspring that are growing with a vengeance.

I peeled back a piece of the bark and saw a grub. This weekend I will clean it up a bit and get some more soil and mulch. I thought it was getting enough water because it's rained here everyday for the last couple months torrentially for about a half hour, but maybe it needs more.

Last but not least: the fertilizer. This has been challenge for me. Could you please educate me or point me in a direction to understand the numbers. I bought the Tropical Fruit Kit you see in this picture and it's probably the perfect thing for the plant but I have no idea how to use it. There are no instructions enclosed and the website (or YouTube) didn't offer any either. Is there a method to how I need to add those ingredients? Do I just add all those ingredients at once?

Your help is very much appreciated!
