Seasonal Tips for April and May - Houseplants
Don’t neglect your houseplants this spring. It’s easy to concentrate on what is going on in the garden, but it’s important too to pay attention to your indoor plants. As the weather warms up they will be bursting into new growth. Don’t forget that they are totally dependent on the quality of the compost that they are growing in and the care and attention that they receive. Old compost will be depleted of its essential nutrients.
- Repot root bound houseplants using Indoor Plant Compost. It contains added perlite to improve the drainage around the roots and open up the structure of the compost.
- Top-dress other houseplants with Indoor Plant Compost.
- Houseplants that have been resting over the winter period can now be fed to support their spring growth. Choose the ready to use Indoor Plant Pour n Grow formulation for quick and easy results. It is high in nitrogen to encourage strong and healthy foliage and has a generous proportion of phosphate to support the development of roots, which is essential if you have repotted your plants, plus enough potash to keep flowering plants blooming all season.
- If you have orchids keep them flowering longer see Keeping Your Orchids Flowering.
