Spring Awakening: Why Your Houseplants Need More Nutrition in Warmer Months

As days grow longer and temperatures rise, houseplants shift from dormancy to active growth. With increased sunlight and warmth, they require more nutrients to support new foliage, flowers, and stronger roots. Adjusting your feeding routine is essential to ensure they thrive.

Why Plants Need More Nutrition in Spring

During winter, plants slow down due to lower light and cooler temperatures. In spring, with:

Longer daylight hours – photosynthesis increases, demanding more energy.

Warmer temperatures – metabolic activity and water loss rise, requiring enhanced nutrient uptake.

This heightened growth phase creates a greater need for essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

The Best Nutrients for Spring Growth

Nitrogen – promotes lush, green foliage.

Phosphorus – supports strong root development and flowering.

Potassium – improves water regulation and disease resistance.

Houseplants and succulents have different needs. Using the right fertilizer ensures optimal growth and health.

What to Feed Your Plants

For lush indoor greenery, we recommend our Houseplant Fertiliser. It provides balanced nutrition, enhancing leaf vibrancy and plant resilience. Apply a diluted solution every two weeks and gradually increase as growth accelerates.

For cacti and succulents, our Cactus & Succulent Feed offers a lower-nitrogen formula tailored to their needs. Use it once a month for healthy, structured growth without excessive foliage.

How to Feed Your Plants

Start Slow – Introduce fertiliser at half strength as plants wake up.

Water First – Always apply fertiliser to moist soil to prevent root damage.

Watch for Signs – Yellowing leaves indicate nitrogen deficiency, while weak growth may signal low phosphorus.

Repot if Needed – Spring is an ideal time to refresh depleted soil. Watch out for our new product Roots. We will be launching very soon!
