Do these Malva's need feeding?

Hi all,

Do these Malva plants require feed yet, if so any suggestions on what?

This is literally the first set of flowers I started along with Zinnias. Unfortunately the Zinnias died after I moved them to a bigger pot.



Thanks

    I wouldn't feed anything in a seed tray. Pot them on in fresh compost and see how they go.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    @B3 Thank you.

    Is compost from the compost bin okay or would it have to be one from a store with the feed mixed in?

    Thanks 🖒

    It depends on the quality of your compost. I don't think they need it particularly rich. I would mix in a bit of slow release fertiliser with your own stuff. Someone might come along and correct me😉

    Haha, that happens to me pretty much all the time, we shall see 😂. I appreciate your response though.
