Growing House Plants - Fertilising

House plants require a balanced environment to ensure healthy growth. They may suffer and have a shock reaction to your homes environment if it is different to what they have been used to.

Here are several tips to help condition the plants to your environment.

Fertilizing requirements will depend on the type of plant, the desired growth rate, sunlight level, planting media, the frequency of watering and the type of fertilizer you plan to use.

Normal healthy growing plants will benefit from a dose of fertilizer around every two months. Do not give fertilizer to any dormant plants. Only use in the growing season.

Over-fertilizing will be indicated by burned or dried leaf margins and wilted plants.

Consult you local suppliers for the best advice.
