It’s Feeding Time: Why Spring and Summer Is Perfect for Fertilizing Your Plants

It’s Feeding Time: Why Spring and Summer Is Perfect for Fertilizing Your Plants

Spring is here—and your plants are waking up from their winter rest! As new growth begins to sprout, now is the perfect time to start fertilizing. Why? Because just like us, plants need fuel to grow strong, healthy, and vibrant.

Here’s why fertilizing in spring matters:

Spring = Growth Season
As days get longer and temperatures rise, plants shift into high gear. Fertilizing now gives them the nutrients they need to thrive during this active growing period.

Benefits of Fertilizing:

  • Encourages lush, vibrant growth

  • Strengthens roots and stems

  • Promotes more blooms and fruit

  • Builds resilience against pests and disease

What Do the Numbers on Fertilizer Mean?
Ever seen something like 10-10-10 on a fertilizer label? These numbers represent the three essential nutrients:

  • Nitrogen (N): For leafy growth

  • Phosphorus (P): For strong roots and flowering

  • Potassium (K): For overall plant health and disease resistance

Different plants need different balances—so it’s worth checking what’s best for your green friends!

How Often Should You Fertilize?
Most indoor and outdoor plants benefit from fertilizing every 2–4 weeks during the growing season (spring through early fall). Just be sure not to overdo it—more isn’t always better!
