Why Your Plants Need Fertilizer (and How to Use It Right)

Plants are living art — they grow, breathe, and respond to how we care for them. 🌱
While sunlight and water give them life, fertilizer gives them strength.
It’s the quiet partner in growth — the boost that keeps your greens thriving all year long.

At Petal Avenue, we see fertilizer as nourishment — not just for your soil, but for your space.
A well-fed plant means a healthier, happier home. 🌼

🌿 Care

Here’s why fertilizer is essential — and how to use it wisely:

1️⃣ Plants Need More Than Light.
Sunlight fuels photosynthesis, but fertilizer provides essential nutrients like nitrogen (for leaves), phosphorus (for roots and blooms), and potassium (for resilience).

2️⃣ Soil Loses Power Over Time.
Each watering washes away natural minerals. Fertilizer restores the soil’s balance and keeps it rich.

3️⃣ Right Timing Matters.
Spring and summer are active growth seasons — that’s when plants need the most nutrients.
In fall and winter, rest them — skip fertilizing when they’re dormant.

4️⃣ Less Is More.
Overfeeding can burn roots and stunt growth.
Start small — half the recommended amount — and observe how your plant responds. 🌿

5️⃣ Choose the Right Type.
Organic and slow-release fertilizers provide steady nutrition without shocking roots.
For potted plants, liquid fertilizers are gentle and effective.
