I love house plants and adding new plants to our home. I think it makes our home feel cozy and fresh with all the green.
I am so excited to be teaming up with 30 ladies sharing all about spring ideas this week! Thank you to Kelly and Mansa for hosting this fun hop! If you are coming over from Kori, welcome! Isn’t her home so pretty spring?!
I’ve come up with a list of tips I use for spring time and house plants. I find that my plants start to really grow a lot more come spring and I like to take extra care to enable as much new growth as possible. These tips are just some things that I have found to be helpful when it comes to house plants and I hope they help you too!
PLANTS TIPS FOR SPRING
Trim/Prune: I like to really examine my plants and trim back any dead leaves/stems that may be left behind from winter. I like to prune back any leggy looking plants to help facilitate bigger and fuller growth
Up the watering: I find that my plants like to drink a bit more during springtime and heading into summer. I don’t necessarily add any more days of watering, but I will give them a bigger drink of water when I do water them. I don’t go too crazy, but a bit more than during the winter as we have a lot more sunlight now so the plants can tolerate a bit more water
Rotate: I like to rotate my plants and make sure they are getting the right sunlight. Sometimes I will move plants closer to windows during the winter since there isn’t as much natural light. During the spring, I will move the plants around so that they don’t burn from all the sunlight. This may just mean moving them back a bit or changing the location all together. I don’t want to shock my plants with a new location, so usually just moving them back a bit from the window is sufficient
Repot: During the spring is a good time to repot, if needed. Spring is usually when plants will start to grow a lot so I will check my plants to see if any are in need of repotting. Repotting can be done at any time, but I think spring is good time before they really hit their growth spurts in the summer. To determine if a plant needs to be repotted, I look at the bottom of the pot to see if any roots are growing out of it. I also check the top to see if roots are coming out from the top. Lastly, I look at the plant to see if it is too top heavy for the pot.
Fertilize: I will fertilize using my Thieves cleaner. There are lots of fertilizers you can use, but I find that my Thieves cleaner is great for giving my plants an extra boost. I tend to do this year round, but spring is a good time to get your plants on a healthy track.
I love when spring time arrives! I love all the new life and growth that comes with it. I can’t wait to get outside and start working on our yard and garden. These indoor plants are making me so excited for our outdoor plants!
I hope these little tricks help you out when caring for your plants this spring! Now hop on over to Pasha’s home all ready for Spring.
