In the late fall and winter, your
Common mallow will enter a dormant phase in which it will no longer produce new growth. At this time, you should avoid fertilizing your
Common mallow. If you choose to fertilize multiple times during spring and summer, you should begin reducing your fertilization rate as summer approaches, as your
Common mallow 's growth rate will also slow.
Overall, it is never a wise choice to fertilize your
Common mallow during times when the weather is unseasonably hot or when the soil is extraordinarily dry. Fertilizing in either of those cases can stress your
Common mallow and cause it to perish prematurely.
