In order to have healthy, strong and robust indoor plants, fertilizers spike are a very useful tool. They can be used for small houseplants or rather big pots. Of course it is much more efficient in case of a bigger size of the pot because in this way you will not have to fertilize every 14-20 days but rather between 2-3 months – depending on your choice of fertilizer.
As you know, soil acts as a natural filter and absorbs most soluble chemicals put into it except nutrients that dissolve into ions – necessary for plant growth. This means that anything added directly to the soil would soon become unavailable for further use by the plant roots unless there was something already in the soil that could hold onto these nutrients and make them available. That’s where fertilizers spike dissolve nutrients in the potting mix, offering a continuous supply of soluble nutrients to your plants.
How to use fertilizers spikes?
When it comes to using fertilizers spikes for houseplants, take into account that they are not going to be as effective as using a fertilizer solution or granules. However still will provide a supplemental source of the necessary elements required by the plant roots. The easiest way is to stick a fertilizers spike into the middle of your plant pot – this ensures that all parts of the roots will come into contact with it eventually. Then just put it somewhere in your living room where you feel like there is enough light for good growth – not too dark however because plants require at least some natural sunlight to produce food using photosynthesis process. You can start fertilizing your plants once you see the oldest leaves smaller than before because this means that the plant has enough energy and it is ready to use all elements available in the soil and through fertilizer spike.
