Plants need more than just water to thrive. They also need plant food.

Here’s how you can give them what they need to stay happy and green!

Step 1: Check the Soil

If the soil is already wet, wait for 2 days before you add plant food.

Step 2: Get the Right Fertilizer

Pick the plant food that’s right for your plant. Follow the numbers on the package.

Step 3: Mix and Pour

Mix the plant food with water as the package says. Then pour it on the soil.

Step 4: Watch for Spills

Try not to get the plant food on the stems and leaves.

Step 5: Let it Soak

Keep pouring until the extra water comes out of the bottom holes.

Step 6: Check Later

After an hour, make sure the pot isn’t sitting in water. If it is, the plant might get sick.

That’s it! Following these steps will keep your plants healthy and strong.
