Plant Nutrition Basics

Healthy plants start with the right nutrition. Understanding what your plants need is the first step to a thriving garden.

  • Use well-draining, nutrient-rich potting soil
  • Feed indoor plants with balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–4 weeks during growing season
  • Outdoor plants benefit from slow-release granular fertilizers
  • Always water before fertilizing to avoid root burn
  • Observe your plants — yellow leaves often signal nutrient deficiency

When & How to Repot

Repotting gives your plant room to grow and refreshes exhausted soil. Here's when and how to do it right.

  • Repot when roots start coming out of drainage holes
  • Choose a pot 1–2 inches larger than the current one
  • Use fresh potting mix — don't reuse old soil
  • Water thoroughly after repotting and keep in indirect light for a few days
  • Spring is the best time to repot most plants

Beginner-friendly tips

New to plants? Here's everything you need to start your green journey the right way.

Don't Overwater

The #1 mistake. Let the top inch of soil dry before watering again.

Light Matters

Match your plant to the right light — bright indirect, low light, or full sun.

Start Easy

Snake plants, pothos, and money plants are nearly indestructible — start there.

Be Patient

Plants take time to adjust. Give them a week to settle into their new home.
