Signs Your Houseplant Needs Nutrients

There are a few signs that your plants may not be getting enough nutrients. 

Here are some things to look for:

Pale or yellowing leaves: If the leaves of your plants are pale or yellow, it could be a sign that they are not getting enough nutrients. This is because chlorophyll, the pigment that gives leaves their green color, is essential for photosynthesis and the production of energy. When a plant is deficient in nutrients, it may not be able to produce enough chlorophyll, leading to pale or yellow leaves.

Stunted growth: If your plants are not growing as quickly or as vigorously as they should be, it could be a sign that they are not getting enough nutrients. Plants need a variety of nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, to grow and develop properly. If a plant is deficient in one or more of these nutrients, it may not be able to grow and develop as it should.

Leaf drop: If your plants are losing leaves, it could be a sign that they are not getting enough nutrients. Plants need nutrients to produce new leaves, and if a plant is deficient in nutrients, it may not be able to produce enough new leaves to replace the ones that are lost.

Poor fruit or flower production: If your plants are not producing as many fruits or flowers as they should be, it could be a sign that they are not getting enough nutrients. Plants need a variety of nutrients to produce fruits and flowers, and if a plant is deficient in one or more of these nutrients, it may not be able to produce as many fruits or flowers as it should.

What to do:

If your plants are showing some or multiple of these signs it might be a good idea to give them some fertilize. We recommend using organic fertilizers because your plants can never have too much vs. synthetic ones that can shock your plants.
