Fertilize Regularly While light and water are all your plants *really* need to survive, a regular dose of extra nutrients will help them thrive. And guess what? Now is when your plant is craving them most. Why fertilize? Houseplants are limited to the constraints of their pots: unlike plants in the ground, they do not receive rainfall nor are they able to spread their roots in search of more food. Regularly feeding your plant 1-2 times a month during the growing season (approximately March to November) is a great way to ensure your plants are living their best lives. What if you skip it? Your plant won't die if you don't fertilize it. But nutrient deficiency can show up in many ways, including pale or yellow leaves, sparse or stunted growth, and higher susceptibility to infestations. What to look for in fertilizers. A typical indoor plant food will supplement what many refer to as "the big three", or the three most important nutrients for growing plants: nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium.
