How often do I need to water my new houseplant?

When is the right time to fertilize my plants?
Most indoor plants only need plant food during their active growing season in spring and summer. Feeding them helps replace nutrients they use up in their pots. Check out our Plant Fertilizing Guide at /blog/plant-fertilizing-guide to learn how to do it safely.
Why are the leaves on my plant turning yellow?
Yellow leaves often point to a watering problem, like root rot from too much water. It might also mean your plant needs more light. You can take a photo of the sick leaf with our app to diagnose the issue and get steps to fix it.
