How to Fertilize Houseplants
Spring signals the start of houseplant fertilizing season in Northeast Ohio. The launch of Daylight Savings Time means the days are getting noticeably longer and plants actually react to this. The increase in daylight exposure wakes them up and moves them from a state of dormancy to active growth. Watch this video with Noelle, Horticulturist and Education Director with Petitti Garden Centers, to learn more about why spring is the right time to start fertilizing. Plus, learn what the three-digit fertilizer ratio means and how it works to support fresh green foliage, strong root development, and overall growth. Noelle also highlights four different types of houseplant fertilizers including liquid, granular, plant spikes, and easy measure-easy pour systems (brand examples shown include Shultz, Osmocote, and Espoma). Enjoy these helpful tips for fertilizing and maintaining your houseplants so that they grow up, down, and all around!
