# What are everyone’s tips for growing plants bigger? I’m decently…

What are everyone’s tips for growing plants bigger? I’m decently successful in keeping my plants alive and growing, but they don’t get big like I’d like them to and I tend to get smallish leaves. Ideas welcome!

Get some quality fertilizer and feed them regularly.

your issue is probably light. plants only get as big as their environment can support. you also may be buying plants that simply don't get that large. vining plants and things like aglaonema or rex begonias simply won't get as big as a m. deliciosa or a self heading philodendron will. plants do have a maximum size that comes from their genetics

Definitely light…mine never grow as much or as big than in the summer outside on the porch soaking up all that sunshine.
