Spring Houseplant Care Tips

As spring growth appears, repot crowded houseplants, increase watering gradually, and start light fertilization for robust growth [https://homesandgardens.com/gardens/what-to-do-with-houseplants-when-you-spot-new-growth].

When repotting, choose a pot only slightly larger than the previous one to avoid oversaturation of the soil. Roots in overly large pots can struggle, leading to potential root rot. Gradually increase watering as the plant's growth accelerates with the longer days and increased sunlight. Monitor the soil moisture regularly to prevent both overwatering and underwatering, adjusting the frequency as needed. Begin fertilizing with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength, typically every 2-4 weeks during the active growing season. This provides essential nutrients to support the plant's new growth and overall health.
