I HAVE A SMALL BLOODLEAF PLANT THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO GET BIGGER THAN 3 INCHES HIGH..
IS THERE A FERTILIZER I COULD USE OR MAYBE A LARGER POT WOULD HELP...IT HAS BEEN THE SAME SIZE FOR THE LAST FOUR MONTHS..IT'S IN A THREE INCH POT RIGHT NOW.

Hi zonesix. Your 'CapsLock' key is stuck on. That makes it the equivalent of shouting, and I'm sure you didn't mean to do that.

If the plant you have is meant to be 3" tall, then all the fertilizer in the world won't grow it. For a more complete answer, can you inclide a photo? At least a more complete description would help. A Bloodleaf plant, is that a Maple or a houseplant with red leaves? Begonias, among other plants, have names like that.

zonesix, I'm assuming you are talking about iresine. I would definitely try a larger pot. Good luck getting your caps unstuck. ; )

Zone Six, what kind of light are you giving the plant?
Also, if the plant is rootbound and needs potting up, I wouldn't go up higher than a 5 inch pot. do it now before it begins actively growing.
