Step One:

Repot your indoor plants with fresh soil

Identify which plants in your collection need repotting. You can visit this blog post to identify signs of needing to be repotted.
Repot your plant (tips here). Repot just one pot size up, no more than 2″-3″ bigger than the root system. You can also add a few inches of new soil to a plant (that may not need a full repot). Using new soil will replenish nutrients to your plant.

Step Two:

Add Insect Control to the soil

Use Bonide Systemic Insect Control to prevent pests in and around your plants.
Use as directed, throughout the year, to help control insects.

Step Three:

Fertilize throughout the active growing seasons

Find a fertilizer that works best for you. I like to use a liquid/pump fertilizer like this one or this shaker one is good too!
Stick with the same fertilizer the entire season and fertilize regularly, as directed.

These three steps will help to ensure the growth of healthy and strong plants. If you prefer a visual, take a look at the visit I had with Helen on AM Northwest. I show you exactly how to repot an indoor plant!
