Hello, now here's the big question... do you fertilise all year round or start from a certain month and end nearing winter?

I fertilize all year. But through the slow months I use a more diluted solution and decrease the frequency. I usually do once every 3-4 waterings depending on the plant.

Ok, I normally fertilise all of my plants (other than the succulents) at the end of the month in the summer but in winter I normally don't fertilise

I fertilize all year round, i water using a VERY diluted fertlizer every watering and my plants seem to be happy with it

#### Mia replied on 2024-01-19

Alright, I might try in the summer watering with the normal amount and in the winter watering with half the normal amount, would that work?

#### Jay replied on 2024-01-19

If you’re watering every week, i wouldn’t suggest full strength as it will burn the roots no matter the season, but if you want to use full strength id do it at least monthly in the summer and dilute it in the winter! Hope that helps!!

Ok thank you

It depends on light and not season. Growing season only if you use natural, if you use a grow light it’s always growing season

#### Mia replied on 2024-01-19

I don't have any grow lights and the window where my plants are doesn't get direct sun in the winter but in the summer it gets about 1-2 hours in the evening
