Seasonal Plant Care: Spring Preparation
By Admin
Spring is the perfect time to refresh your plant care routine and prepare your green friends for their growing season.
**Spring Plant Care Checklist:**
**Repotting:**
Check if plants are root-bound and need larger pots. Spring is the ideal time for repotting as plants enter their active growing phase.
**Fertilizing:**
Resume regular fertilizing after the winter dormancy period. Use a balanced, diluted fertilizer every 2-4 weeks.
**Pruning:**
Remove dead, damaged, or yellowing leaves. Prune leggy growth to encourage bushier plants.
**Pest Check:**
Inspect plants for pests that may have developed during winter. Common spring pests include aphids, spider mites, and scale insects.
**Watering Adjustment:**
As days get longer and temperatures rise, plants will need more frequent watering. Check soil moisture regularly.
**Light Considerations:**
Move plants closer to windows or outdoors (gradually) to take advantage of increased daylight hours.
