If you’re lucky enough to have plants that are ready to
bloom indoors this month, it’s time to think about their soil and fertilizer
needs. Here’s what we do to keep plants
blooming:
- Carefully monitor moisture levels. If plant roots are waterlogged, their oxygen supply has been cut off. And if they’re not getting enough water, they can’t take up the nutrients in the soil. While you can buy a moisture meter to measure moisture levels in your plants, it’s also easy to check yourself. Just make sure soil is about as damp as a wrung-out sponge.
- If you haven’t re-potted indoor plants in a while, carefully lifting them out of their pots, brushing off old potting soil without disturbing the root ball, and repotting with our premium Ocean Forest Potting Soil will help replenish depleted soil. While you have the plant out of the pot, make sure drainage holes are clear.
And of course, use a flowering fertilizer like Tiger Bloom or Big Bloom. The phosphorus in flowering fertilizers encourages the development of buds and flowers.
