The Importance of Watering and Fertilising: How to Keep Your Plants Healthy and Thriving All Season Long

Deciding to grow your own plants is fun and can be easy. But now the real work begins: keeping these living things healthy and thriving all season long. That means watering and fertilising them regularly; watering at least once a week and feeding them with nutrients from time to time. One of the most important parts of growing houseplants is watering—and it’s also one of the easiest!

Watering

Watering is the most important part of plant care. You should check your soil regularly to see if it’s dry and give your plants a good drink if they need it. Don’t forget to water in the morning or evening, as this will prevent water from evaporating too quickly in the heat of day. If you have a watering can, use that; otherwise use an irrigation system (or drip irrigation).

Fertilising

Fertiliser is a powder or liquid containing nutrients that are essential for plant growth. It’s used to help plants thrive and grow, especially during spring and summer when the weather is warmer.

The most important nutrient for plants is nitrogen, which helps them produce leaves, stems and flowers. You should fertilise your garden in spring (March/April) and again in summer (August/September).

Proper watering and fertilising can help you to keep your plants healthy and thriving all season long.

Proper watering and fertilising can help you to keep your plants healthy and thriving all season long. While it may seem like a lot of work, it’s important to do the right thing for your garden. The difference between watering and fertilising is simple: water keeps the soil moist; fertiliser adds nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus or potassium (NPK) that help the plant grow stronger roots and leaves.

The best way to ensure that you are doing these things correctly is by following instructions on the product’s label carefully–but if those aren’t available there are some general tips we can share with everyone! In general:

• Watering should be done regularly–every two days in spring/summer months; every four days during autumn/winter months
• Fertilise every three weeks during spring/summer months; every six weeks during autumn/winter months

As we’ve seen, watering and fertilising are not just important for keeping your plants healthy – they’re also the key to making sure they grow as well as possible. By following the tips outlined in this post, you can ensure that your garden will thrive all season long!
