The First Day of Spring Today marks the first day of spring, a time for change and growth. It's also the favorite time of year for living plants! It's the best time to care for and enjoy their presence as they flourish. Here are 5 tips to make the most of the spring season. - Feed Your Plants - They may be waking up hungry from winter and ready for fresh nutrients to boost their growth. A simple plant food or foliar feed will do the trick.
- Consider Repotting - Instead of fertilizing, you can change the soil and repot in the same container. Fresh soil also contains the nutrients your plants need. Are you starting to see roots? Then your plant may be outgrowing its current home and you can repot to help it grow.
- Give Your Plants a Trim - Trim any discolored foliage and don't be afraid to prune back funky growth. Both trimming and pruning will help your plant focus on growing new foliage.
- Spring Cleaning - A little dusting goes a long way, revealing a beautiful clean leaf to help your plant photosynthesize. From dust to sap to calcium buildup, you can’t go wrong with a soft cloth and a natural, gentle soap.
- Cherish the Moment - Spring and summer are the most rewarding times of year to own and care for plants. Enjoy watching your plant grow and “blossom” into its best self over the coming months, and remember that the recipe to great plant care is simple: a light touch, combined with a curious eye.
