Question

Plant   In May my son planted a seed at school and I have no idea what it is, I dont want it to die but I dont know what is best for it since i dont know what it is and I am the only mother i know of that still has it. The teacher said she wasnt sure she grabbed a pack of seeds from the dollar store. Its about 5 months old now and it is fuzzy feeling on the leaves and stem. The roots were coming out of pot so I repotted it yesterday making that the 2nd time in 5 months. I am lost as to what to do please help. Thank You

Answer
Without a picture of the plant I have no idea. If you will e-mail a picture of the whole plant and one of the leaf. Is it flowering? Picture of flower. Send it to  [email protected]  and I will probably be able to ID it.

Other than that treat it like most other plants indoors...
Water your plant based on how much it weighs when thoroughly watered VS when they are ready to be watered again. Plants die from too frequent waterings, not from how much water you give them at one time. Pick the pot up and feel how heavy it is after watering it thoroughly. Don't water it again until it feels considerably lighter and the soil top of the soil is light in color. Depending on plant types, sunlight exposure and pot size plants will need water at many different rates from once a day to once a month or more...It is also good to fertilize it periodically with a good plant fertilizer (Miracle Grow, Peters, etc.#
Hope this helps.

It also helps to know where you are located (USA-state? other country#?...I saw your picture...It looks like it may be a woody plant#vs herbaceous#...It would probably do better outside to go through its dormant period, but only if it is a woody plant #Dogwood, Forsythia, or other type deciduous plant)...Next spring when it flowers it will be easy to ID it...

Sorry I could not be of more help...
