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

Even the healthiest plants need more than sunlight and water — they need food. 🌿
Fertilizer provides essential nutrients that keep your plants strong, vibrant, and full of life.
Without it, soil becomes tired and plants lose their glow.

At Petal Avenue, we see fertilizer as gentle nourishment — not a quick fix.
Used mindfully, it brings lasting balance and helps your plants thrive beautifully. 🌸


🌼 Care

Here’s why fertilizer matters — and how to use it right:

1️⃣ Plants Need More Than Sunlight.
Sunlight gives energy, but fertilizer adds vital nutrients like nitrogen (for leaves), phosphorus (for roots and blooms), and potassium (for strength and color).

2️⃣ Soil Gets Depleted Over Time.
Each watering slowly washes nutrients away. Fertilizer restores balance and keeps soil healthy and rich.

3️⃣ Timing Is Key.
Fertilize during spring and summer when plants grow actively.
Avoid feeding in winter — plants need rest too. 🌿

4️⃣ Less Is More.
Over-fertilizing can burn roots and harm the soil.
Start small, use diluted formulas, and watch your plants respond gently.

5️⃣ Choose the Right Formula.
Organic, slow-release fertilizers are best for steady, safe feeding.
Liquid fertilizers are great for potted or indoor plants.

Petal Avenue’s Simple Fertilizer Routine:

3️⃣ Feed every 2–4 weeks during growth seasons.
4️⃣ Wipe off leaves and check soil health monthly.
5️⃣ Enjoy watching your garden grow greener and fuller each week. 🌼
