How to get indoor plants to grow faster



best gardening tips and tricks

Are you looking for ways to increase indoor plant growth? Perhaps you are looking for a Philodendron or Boston fern. It is possible that you are not sure what plant will be the most successful. Here are some tips. These tips may help you to find the right indoor plants for your home. If you aren't sure what kind of indoor plant to choose, don't worry. You'll find the perfect solution.

Areca palms

A good Areca palm fertiliser contains all the necessary nutrients to help your plant grow. It stops the development of yellowing and browning in the leaves as well as curbing drooping. Another great benefit of Areca palm fertilizer is that it contains compost, which feeds the natural soil microbes. These microbes breakdown nutrients and are absorbed faster by the plant’s roots. A good Areca palm fertilizer will have a mix of organic and inorganic nutrients.

If your indoor plant has been failing to grow, repotting can help. Repotting promotes faster growth and helps to prevent fertilizer buildup. The palm is sensitive, so be careful not to disturb its roots or it could end up with brown tips on its leaves. Remove any soil that remains in the root ball before you repot it. A new mix should be used to fill the pot. It should be at least the same height as the one you have and it should have lots of drainage holes.

There are two options for fertilizers: liquid or powder. They should be labeled safe for foliar application. A slow-release fertilizer will provide your plant with nutrients throughout the entire growing season. For even faster growth, you can also use micro-nutrient spray. This fertilizer can only be used once a year and may not cost much.


Ava palms can reach up to 30 feet in height and can be grown in all climates. Ava palms can often be seen in offices, parking lots, and shopping malls. The house is enriched with their graceful leaves. In addition, you can use them as decorations. Next, plant several arecas to create dense displays. They make wonderful decorations!

Your Areca palm should be exposed to high humidity levels for best growth. This is difficult in a home environment. Mist them once to twice per day. Misting them regularly is a good idea. It is important to keep the leaves damp, but not soggy. This will prevent them from drying out and developing brown spots. Also, make sure to check the humidity in your home so that your Areca palm is getting enough water.

Boston Fern

If you are looking for ways to make indoor plants grow faster, this is the place to look. Indoor plants can take time to figure out how much moisture they need. They need to be hydrated properly. Plants can become rootbound if they don't get enough water. Dry air can cause death. Feeding plants regularly is another way to encourage growth. While plants are nourished through photosynthesis and can grow faster, they also need extra nutrients. A regular fertilizer will help indoor plants flourish.

Artificial lighting is the best way for indoor plants to grow quicker. Exposure to full-spectrum, bright LED light can help your plants grow stronger. But, bright light should be combined with sufficient humidity and water. Plants without enough water will lose their ability to grow and develop yellow and brown leaf edges. Combine bright light with high humidity for best results. Last but not least, take good care of your plants every day.


For houseplants to thrive, they need a rich soil that is rich in nutrients. A pot that is larger than their normal size will give them the nutrients they require. This will encourage them to focus on roots and not top growth. It is important to not fertilize excessively as this can result in harmful results. Consider using a combination fertilizer. You can also mix some manure and grass clippings.

You should provide the right environment for your plants, in addition to fertilizing them with a fertilizer. They will be happy and healthy if they live in a humid environment. Plants can develop unhealthy symptoms if the humidity is low. Their lower leaves may fall off. If this happens, you should move your plant to a more humid area. A good indoor climate can help houseplants grow by three feet annually.

If you're looking for a fast-growing plant, try a Fiddle Leafe Fig. This indoor plant can grow up to 6 feet tall and is known for its many quirky nicknames. It can grow up 6 feet tall, and it is so hardy that it has been nicknamed Devil's Ivy. The plant thrives on indirect light, so it is best to place it in an east- or west-facing window.

Golden pothos

There are many tips to growing pothos, from the soil to the lighting. This plant needs to be provided with clean water and fertilizer. It also requires bright indirect sunlight. The ideal room temperature ranges from 70 to 90°F (21-32°C). Make sure that your pothos plant is getting fresh water every couple of weeks, and add a few drops of fertilizer if needed. To reduce the direct sunlight, you should use dark-colored vase. Make sure to change the water frequently to avoid stagnant water.


Pothos require watering every month, and a rapid growth rate of between 10-12 inches. The growth rate of pothos isn't too slow. They can grow as much as 18 inches per year if given the right conditions. They will need to be cared for properly indoors to achieve their full potential. Pothos should continue to produce longer vines every year in order to avoid stunted growth.

Regular feeding is essential for Golden Pothos. A quarter-strength, liquid fertilizer can be applied to your plant every other week. You can use liquid fertilizer if the plant is actively growing new foliage. It is important to water the plant regularly, because it will reduce the chance of burning. It can be used with a diluted fertilizer solution, provided it is well-watered.

A lot of cuttings are important when purchasing a Golden Pothos Plant. Look for shiny, crisp green leaves that feel good to the touch. Another indicator that the plant is healthy, is a rigid, green stem. Golden Pothos love dry soil so make sure you use it. You should buy a 6-inch pot if you wish to grow Golden Pothos indoors.

You can make a pothos from water if you don’t want to use soil. A 6- to 12-inch-long cutting should have 2 to 3 nodes that are submerged in water. Within a month, you should have roots on the potted cutting. In soil, potted plants grow faster than those that are grown in water. If you follow these simple steps, potted plants will grow faster. You should always follow the instructions on your package.

Philodendron

There are many things you can do to encourage houseplants' rapid growth. Just like people, plants have different needs as they grow older. You might want to take out the lower leaves as soon as your plant has reached the end of its pot. Or repot it if it is outgrowing its current pot. In general, you should not move a houseplant to a larger pot until it has grown out of its current one.


gardening hints and tips

Consider your plant's needs first. Some plants require full sunlight, others prefer partial shade. Your philodendron needs some light during the day, but it does not like it in direct sunlight. You may choose to plant a plant that does not require full sun if your apartment is in shade. You can choose to place your philodendron in sunny or shade. It will appreciate your care.

Plants are affected by the humidity level in their homes. Lack of humidity can cause plants to lose their leaves and show signs such as malnutrition. Poor drainage can lead to root rot, which will reduce the plant's ability to absorb nutrients. You must ensure that your indoor plants get enough water to thrive. Make sure not to over-water them, though.

Then, select a pot that fits the plant well. Consider the size and material of the pot. You should select a pot with good drainage that is proportional to your plant's root mass. If your plants grow out of the pot, you can move them to a bigger pot. You should keep in mind that plants can't absorb as much water if they are too large. You can also use plastic pots to make hanging baskets or wall shelves.

Proper drainage and watering are essential for healthy growth. Make sure you do not over-water your plants as this causes them to drown and not gather essential nutrients from the soil. You should fertilize your plants every other day. You can also use fertilizers or humidifiers if you don't want to water your plants too often. To make sure your soil remains moist and free from dirt, you should inspect it every so often.
