As the days become longer, it’s time to start feeding houseplants. In late February begin with a good quality indoor plant food such as Jack’s Classic (water-soluble powder) or Osmocote (slow-release granular).
Wipe the dust of the foliage of your houseplants periodically with a moist cloth. This will help them absorb more light.
Repot root bound houseplants to a larger pot. If the roots are sticking out the top or bottom of the pot, the plant is root bound.
If it is time to repot your orchid, you are welcome to bring it into our greenhouse for assistance, or you can check out our step-by-step tutorial video on orchid repotting.
Check houseplant leaves for insect problems like scale, mites and mealy bugs. If you detect a problem, bring a sample to our plant clinic for diagnosis and treatment solutions.
