Why container plants need regular feeding
Container plants have a limited amount of soil around their roots, so the nutrients available to them are limited too. Regular watering and active plant growth gradually use up those nutrients. A simple feeding routine helps replenish them and supports healthy growth over time.
Why the kit has two parts
The slow-release granules and liquid concentrate do different jobs. The granules provide a steady base of nutrition over several months. The liquid provides additional nutrition once a month while your plants are actively growing.
Together, they create a simple routine: granules every 3–4 months and liquid once a month while plants are growing.
Feeding indoors versus on the patio
Indoor and patio plants don't always grow at the same rate. Light, temperature, plant type, season, and growing conditions can all affect how quickly a plant grows.
That's why the liquid feeding follows the plant rather than the calendar. If your plants are growing, feed monthly. If they're not growing much, skip the liquid that month. Continue to follow the 3–4 month schedule for the slow-release granules.
Signs your plants need feeding
Yellow leaves, brown tips, slow growth, or other changes don't automatically mean a plant needs more fertilizer. Watering, light, temperature, root conditions, pests, and nutrition can all affect how a plant looks.
Follow the normal feeding schedule rather than adding extra fertilizer when you see a problem, and check the plant's growing conditions first.
