Are you looking for ways to increase indoor plant growth? You might be looking for a Philodendron (or Boston fern), Golden pothos or Areca palm. The problem is that it can be difficult to know which plant will work best. Here are some ideas. These tips may help you to find the right indoor plants for your home. You don't have to be unsure about the type of indoor plant that you would like to grow in a room. There are many options available.

Areca palms

A good Areca palm fertilizer contains all the essential nutrients your plant needs to grow properly. It also prevents yellowing and browning of the leaves, and curbs drooping fronds. Areca palm fertiler also has compost, which feeds soil microbes. These microbes are responsible for breaking down nutrients and are more easily absorbed by the roots. A good Areca palm fertilizer will have a mix of organic and inorganic nutrients.

Repotting your indoor plant is a great option if you have been having trouble getting it to grow. Repotting encourages faster growth, and prevents fertilizer build-up. Because the palm is sensitive, you should not disturb its roots. It could result in brown tips on its leaves. Take out any soil remaining in the root ball prior to repotting. 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.

Fertilizers are available in the form of powder or liquid. They should be labeled safe for foliar application. A slow-release fertilizer can provide nutrients for the entire growing season. Micro-nutrient spray is also available for faster growth. However, this fertilizer is not available year-round and may be expensive.


Ava palms can reach up to 30 feet in height and can be grown in all climates. Ava palms can be found in parking lots, office spaces, and shopping malls. Their graceful leaves add color to the house. They can also be used as decorations. To create a dense display, you can plant many arecas in succession. They will make stunning decorations!

To ensure the best growth, your Areca palm must be exposed to high levels of humidity. This can be tricky in a home setting. Mist them only once or twice per day. Make sure you mist them thoroughly without spraying the roots. You must keep the leaves dry and not soggy. Otherwise, they could dry out and develop 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. It can take indoor plant owners time to understand how much water they need. They need to be hydrated properly. Plants can become rootbound if they don't get enough water. Dry air can cause death. You can also encourage plant growth by feeding them often. The photosynthesis process provides nutrition for plants, but more nutrients can aid in their growth. 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. The bright light needs to be accompanied by enough water and humidity. A plant deprived of water will droop and show brown and yellow leaf edges. The best lighting conditions should be combined with adequate humidity levels to achieve the best results. Lastly, be sure to take care of your plants during the day.


A rich, nutrient-rich soil is essential for houseplant growth. To give them the nutrients they need, use a pot with a larger capacity than they normally grow in. This will encourage them to focus on roots and not top growth. You should not fertilize too often as this could cause harmful effects. Try using a combination of fertilizers. You can also mix some manure and grass clippings.


tips for beginner gardeners

Apart from fertilizing your plants with a fertilizer you must also ensure that they have the right environment. A moist environment will keep them healthy and happy. Plants that are not given enough humidity may show signs of illness. Lower leaves can fall off. It's time for your plant be moved to a warmer location. Proper indoor climate can improve the growth rate by three feet per annum.

Fiddle Leafe Fig. is a fast-growing choice for anyone looking for a plant to grow. This is one of the fastest-growing indoor plants, and it has some interesting nicknames. It can reach 6 feet in height and is so tough it's been called the Devil's Ivy. The plant will grow best in direct sunlight.

Golden pothos

There are many tips to growing pothos, from the soil to the lighting. This plant needs clean water, fertilizer, bright indirect sun, and fertilizer. The ideal room temperature for this plant is between 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. To reduce the direct sunlight, you should use dark-colored vase. Keep the water changing frequently to prevent water from stagnating.


Pothos require watering every month, and a rapid growth rate of between 10-12 inches. If the conditions are right, pothos can grow to as high as 18 inches per calendar month. It will take them longer to grow indoors so it's important that you care for them well. Pothos should continue growing longer vines each season to prevent stunted growth.

Your Golden Pothos needs to be fed regularly. A quarter-strength, liquid fertilizer can be applied to your plant every other week. The liquid fertilizer should be used when the plant is actively producing new leaves. It is important to water the plant regularly, because it will reduce the chance of burning. A diluted solution of liquid fertilizer can be used as long as it's well-watered before.

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 that your plant is healthy is a straight, green stem. Be sure to use dry soil, as Golden Pothos hate wet soil. A 6-inch pot is the best size for Golden Pothos indoors.

If you don't want to use soil, you can try propagating a pothos in water. A 6- to 12-inch-long cutting should have 2 to 3 nodes that are submerged in water. A month later, roots should appear on the potted cut. Potted plants grow quicker in soil than when they are grown in liquid. These tips will help them grow faster. Always follow the directions on the packaging.

Philodendron

Here are some things that you can do to help your houseplants grow quickly. Plants have different needs over time, just as people. 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. A houseplant should never be moved to a bigger pot until its roots have grown out of the current one.


gardening hints

First, think about the plant's specific needs. Some plants need full sun while others prefer partial shading. The philodendron requires some light, but not enough to thrive in direct sunlight. A plant that can tolerate full sunlight may be best suited for a shaded apartment. Your philodendron will love your attention, regardless of whether it is in a sunny or shaded location.

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. To grow indoor plants quickly, it is important to ensure they receive adequate watering. Be careful not to overwater them.

Choose a pot to fit your plant. Be aware of the size and materials of the pot. The pot should have good drainage and be proportional to the plant's roots mass. If your plants grow out of the pot, you can move them to a bigger pot. Don't forget that plants that are too big won't be as able to take in as much moisture. For hanging baskets, or for wall shelves, you can also use plastic pots.

Proper drainage and watering are essential for healthy growth. Avoid over-watering your plants. They can drown and not absorb essential nutrients. It's a good idea also to fertilize as often as necessary. However, if you're concerned about watering too much, you can use fertilizers or a humidifier to provide the humidity your plants need. Regular soil checks are important to make sure that it isn't dry out and has no dirt.

How To

Organic fertilizers to be used in the garden

Organic fertilizers are made of natural substances like manure, compost and fish emulsion. Non-synthetic materials are used in the production of organic fertilizers. Synthetic fertilizers are chemical compounds used in industrial processes. Because they are quick and efficient, synthetic fertilizers are popular in agriculture. They don't require laborious preparation. Synthetic fertilizers are dangerous for the environment as well as human health. To produce, synthetic fertilizers require a lot of energy and water. Synthetic fertilizers also pollute surface and groundwater through runoff. This pollution can be harmful for both wildlife and humans.

There are many types of organic fertilizers.

* Manure - is made when livestock eat nitrogen (a plant food nutrient). It contains bacteria and enzymes that break down the waste into simple compounds that plants can absorb easily.

* Compost - a mixture of decaying leaves, grass clippings, vegetable scraps, and animal manure. It is rich with nitrogen, phosphorus. potassium, calcium. magnesium. sulfur. iron. copper. manganese. molybdenum. chlorine. and carbon. It is highly porous so it can retain moisture well and release nutrients slowly.

* Fish Emulsion: A liquid product derived primarily from fish oil. It can dissolve oils and fats, similar to soap. It contains trace elements and phosphorous as well as nitrogen and nitrogen.

* Seaweed Extract is a concentrated solution that contains minerals extracted from red algae, brown algae and green algae. It is rich in vitamins A, C and iodine as well as iron.

* Guano is the excrement of seabirds and bats. It contains carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous as well as potassium, sodium and magnesium.

* Blood Meal: The remains of animal carcasses. It contains protein, which makes it useful for feeding poultry and other animals. It also contains phosphorus, potassium, nitrogen, and trace minerals.

To make organic fertilizer, combine equal parts of manure, compost, and/or fish emulsion. Mix thoroughly. If you don’t possess all three ingredients you can substitute one for the other. For example, if you only have access to the fish emulsion, you can mix 1 part of fish emulsion with two parts of compost.

Spread the fertilizer evenly on the soil with a shovel, or tiller. The fertilizer should be about 1/4 cup per square foot. You'll need to add fertilizer every two weeks until new growth appears.
