horticulture tips

Are you looking for ways to increase indoor plant growth? Perhaps you are looking for a Philodendron or Boston fern. The problem is that it can be difficult to know which plant will work best. Here are some helpful tips. These tips can help you select the best indoor plant for any room. Don't worry if your not sure which type of indoor plant you want to grow in your house. We'll help you find the right plant for you.

Areca palms

A good Areca palm fertilizer contains all the essential nutrients your plant needs to grow properly. It prevents leaves from turning yellow or brown and reduces drooping. Areca palm fertilizer also contains compost which provides nutrients to soil microbes. These microbes are responsible for breaking down nutrients and are more easily absorbed by the roots. A good Areca palm fertilizer should contain a mixture of inorganic and organic nutrients.

If you've been struggling to get your indoor plant to grow, try repotting it. Repotting encourages faster growth, and prevents fertilizer build-up. It is very sensitive so don't disturb the roots. Otherwise, your palm could develop brown tips. Before repotting, remove any excess soil from the root ball. You should fill the pot with a new mix, which is at the same depth and has lots of drainage holes.

Fertilizers are available in the form of powder or liquid. It is important to ensure that fertilizers are safe for foliar feeds. Slow-release fertilizers provide nutrients for your plant throughout the growing season. Micro-nutrient spray is also available for faster growth. It is possible to use this fertilizer year-round, but it can cost quite a bit.


Ava palms grow up to 30 ft tall and can thrive in all climates. Ava palms can be found in parking lots, office spaces, and shopping malls. Their graceful leaves bring color to the house. They can also be used as decorations. Plant several arecas together to create a full, dense display. They will make stunning decorations!

For the best growth, ensure your Areca palm is exposed to high humidity levels, which is a tricky task in a home environment. You can mist them as often as once or twice daily. You should mist them well without spraying the roots. It is important to keep the leaves damp, but not soggy. This will prevent them from drying out and developing brown spots. So, it's essential to monitor the humidity level in your home and make sure that your Areca palm receives plenty of water.

Boston Fern

If you are wondering how to speed up indoor plant growth, you have come to the right place. Indoor plants can take time to figure out how much moisture they need. Proper humidity is essential to their health. Plants can become root-bound without adequate water, and dry air can kill them. Regular feeding is another way to promote plant growth. Plants obtain nutrition through photosynthesis, but extra nutrients can help them grow faster. A regular fertilizer will help indoor plants flourish.

Artificial lights are the best way to increase indoor plant growth. Exposure to full-spectrum, bright LED light can help your plants grow stronger. The bright light needs to be accompanied by enough water and humidity. Without water, plants will become droopy and have yellowed and brown edges. Combine bright light with high humidity for best results. Last but not least, take good care of your plants every day.


Houseplants need to grow in nutrient rich soil. 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. Be careful not to fertilize too frequently as this can cause adverse effects. Mixing different fertilizers can be a good option. Alternatively, you can mix in some manure or grass clippings.

Other than using fertilizer, it is important to provide the right environment for plants. Plants will thrive in a moist environment. Low humidity can cause plants to develop health problems. It is possible for their lower leaves to fall off. If this happens, it is time to move the plant to a humider location. An indoor climate that is conducive to growth can increase the rate of houseplant growth by up to three feet each year.

Fiddle Leafe Fig. is a fast-growing choice for anyone looking for a plant to grow. This indoor plant is among the fastest to grow and has some unique nicknames. It can grow to 6 feet high and is so sturdy that it was nicknamed "Devil's Ivy". The growth of this plant is dependent on direct light. It's best to place it near an east-facing window.

Golden pothos

There are many tips to growing pothos, from the soil to the lighting. This plant needs bright indirect sunlight, fertilizer and clean water. The ideal room temperature is 70-90degF (21-32degC). Your pothos plant should be receiving fresh water every two weeks. You can also add a few drops fertilizer if necessary. Use dark-colored vases if possible to reduce direct sunlight. To avoid water stagnation, make sure you change the water often.


Pothos do not require watering. Their growth rate is fast, reaching 10 to 12 inches per months. The growth rate of pothos isn't too slow. They can grow as much as 18 inches per year if given the right conditions. However, they will take longer to reach their full potential indoors, so it's important to care for them correctly. Pothos should continue to grow longer vines each year, avoiding stunted growth.

Regular feeding of your Golden Pothos is critical. Your plant can be fed as often as twice a week with quarter-strength liquid fertilizer. When the plant is actively pushing out new foliage, use the liquid fertilizer. Watering is essential, as it reduces the risk of burning the plant. You can use a diluted liquid fertilizer solution as long as your plant has been well-watered.

It is important that you buy a plant with lots of cuttings when buying a Golden Pothos. The leaves should feel smooth and crisp. Another sign it is healthy is a stiff, green stem. Golden Pothos do not like wet soil. You should buy a 6-inch pot if you wish to grow Golden Pothos indoors.

You can also propagate a pothos in water if you don't wish to use soil. The length of a cutting should be 6-12 inches with 2 to 3 nodes immersed 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. And they grow faster if you follow these simple tips. Remember to follow the instructions in the package.

Philodendron

There are many things you can do to encourage houseplants' rapid growth. As they age, plants will have different needs. For instance, you may want to remove the lower leaves when your plant reaches the end of its pot, or repot it once it has outgrown its current pot. It is best to move your houseplant to another pot once it has outgrown its current one.

First, think about the plant's specific needs. Some plants love full sunlight while others prefer partial shadow. While your philodendron will need some sunlight during the day, it won't like direct sunlight. It is possible to find a plant that will thrive in partial shade if you have an apartment. You can choose to place your philodendron in sunny or shade. It will appreciate your care.

Your house's humidity levels are important for your plants. Plants that lack proper humidity may develop malnutrition symptoms, such as lower leaves. In addition, poor drainage can cause root rotting, reducing the amount of nutrients that are available for the plant. You must ensure that your indoor plants get enough water to thrive. You should not overwater your indoor plants.

Next, choose a pot that will fit the plant. Consider the size and material of the pot. It is important to choose a pot that allows for good drainage and is in proportion to the plant’s root mass. You can transfer your plants to a larger pot if they outgrow it. Keep in mind, if your plants have gotten too big, they'll not be able to absorb as much moisture as they need. Alternatively, you can use plastic pots for hanging baskets and wall shelves.

Healthy growth requires proper drainage and watering. Don't overwater your plants. This can cause them to become irritated and lose their essential nutrients. You should fertilize your plants every other day. To provide the humidity that your plants require, fertilizers can be used or a humidifier can be used if you are worried about overwatering. Regular soil checks are important to make sure that it isn't dry out and has no dirt.
