Fertilizing supports the vigor of variegated houseplants, countering their chlorophyll limitations to sustain color and growth. Applied judiciously, it prevents nutrient deficiencies without risking damage. Opt for a balanced liquid fertilizer formulated for houseplants to achieve reliable results.These plants benefit from feeding every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring to summer), and every 8 weeks for the rest of the months. A general houseplant fertilizer provides essential nutrients and trace elements for robust foliage. Step-by-step application:
- Dilution: Always dilute to half the manufacturer's recommended strength to safeguard delicate leaves—follow product-specific instructions.
- Technique: Distribute evenly in soil by applying together with watering. Adjust the dose to the watering volume needed for the plant(s).
- Success signs: Fresher, more defined new growth.
