Should You Fertilize Houseplants in Fall? Yes - With Care

You might hear people say, “Stop fertilizing in fall.” But that advice usually comes from the outdoor gardening world. Indoors, your plants keep growing - just more slowly.

Here is how to feed them without overdoing it.

1. Choose the right fertilizer

Skip anything with high nitrogen or harsh salts. Foliage Focus is designed for steady growth, not rapid spurts. It keeps your plants nourished without stress.

2. Use it less often

In summer, you might feed weekly. In fall, cut back to every two or three weeks. Watch your plant. If it is still putting out new leaves, it is still hungry - just not starving.

3. Skip feeding if your plant is struggling

If your plant is recovering from pests or root rot, hold off. Fertilizer is not a cure. Focus on stability first.

4. Pair it with root support

Using Root Zone alongside fertilizer helps your plant absorb nutrients more effectively. It is like adding a co-pilot to your feeding routine.
