Whether you're a plant parent of one or many, every plant deserves the nutrients it needs to grow strong and healthy. Fertilizing your houseplants is a great way to give them a little extra boost, but it's important to do it correctly. Here are a few tips on how to fertilize your houseplants:
First, you'll need to choose the right fertilizer for your plants. If you're not sure what kind to use, ask your local nursery or gardening store for recommendations. Once you have the fertilizer, be sure to read the instructions carefully so you know how often to apply it and how much to use.
Next, you'll need to prepare your plants for fertilizing. This means removing any dead leaves or debris and making sure the leaves are dry so the fertilizer doesn't burn them. You should also water your plants before fertilizing, so they can absorb the nutrients more easily.
Now it's time to fertilize! Apply the fertilizer according to the instructions, being careful not to overdo it. Once you're finished, water your plants again to help them absorb the nutrients.
With these tips, you'll be on your way to giving your houseplants the nourishment they need to thrive. Don’t be a good plant parent, be the best!
