With seasonal changes come rapid growth in your plants! You may need to water more frequently. Always water plants deeply until excess water drips from the drainage hole. The level of light your plants get will also vary throughout the seasons. In the summer, plants can be susceptible to sun-burned leaves due to the intense rays of summer sunshine! Pay attention to how much direct sun your plants are getting and adjust their locations if you see leaf burn and bleaching.

Fertilizing plants is necessary for them to thrive! Fertilizer is especially important during times of active growth. Most plants prefer to be fertilized twice a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Never apply fertilizer directly to dry soil! There are different types of fertilizer for different plant species. For specifics, check out our A-Z Guide to determine which fertilizer is best for your plants.!

Warmer weather may be great for plant growth, but it also can create an environment for pests to thrive! Pests are a completely normal houseplant issue, after all, your plants are alive! Not to worry, pests can be controlled, especially if you catch them early. Common pests include spider mites, mealybugs, aphids, thrips, whiteflies, fungus gnats, soil gnats, springtails, and milipedes. Our blog has extensive information on common pests and how to treat them. If all else fails, our Grow-How Team® is always willing to help!
