Every season brings new opportunities and challenges for both us and our green friends. Whether you're a home gardener or a professional grower, understanding how to adapt to changing conditions can make or break the condition and happiness of your plants. At Hesi, we believe in nurturing plants with scientifically formulated nutrients tailored to their specific needs at every stage of growth. Here’s an easy to follow guide to keeping your plants indoors and outdoors at their best throughout the seasons.
Spring: Awakening Growth
Spring is the season of renewal, when plants emerge from dormancy and begin their active growing phase. This is the perfect time to prepare your soil, nourish young plants, and encourage strong root development for the marathon season coming ahead (summer).
Key Tasks:
- Clean up garden beds by removing dead leaves and weeds in outdoor plants.
- Enrich the soil with organic matter and boosters like our Root Complex.
- Start fertilising your plants to support early growth.
- Prune winter-damaged branches to promote healthy new shoots.
Recommended HESI Products:
- Root Complex – Ideal for young plants and seedlings, this root stimulator enhances root development and improves nutrient uptake.
- TNT Complex – A gentle but powerful nitrogen-rich fertiliser that stimulates vigorous leaf and stem growth.
- PowerZyme – Enhances soil quality by breaking down dead roots and supporting beneficial microorganisms.
- SuperVit - for a boost in vitamins and amino-acids (like taking supplements so the plant can absorb the needed nutrients better)
Summer: Supporting Strength and Blooms
Longer days and warmer temperatures mean plants are growing at full speed. However, intense sunlight, heat stress, and increased water demands require careful management.
Key Tasks:
- Water plants regularly, preferably in the early morning or late evening to avoid burning leaves.
- Apply mulch to retain moisture and protect roots from extreme temperatures for outdoor plants.
- Keep an eye out for pests and diseases.
- Provide the necessary nutrients for sustained growth and flowering.
Recommended HESI Products:
- SuperVit – A powerful mix of vitamins and amino acids that enhance plant energy and resistance to stress.
- Bloom Complex – Supplies flowering plants with essential nutrients for bigger, more vibrant blooms.
- Boost – A bloom activator that encourages fruit and flower development while improving overall plant vitality.
- HousePlant Elixir - for indoor but also outdoor green plants that do not flower but need a growth boost. The great part is that this product is all in one (root booster, NPK fertiliser and vitamin / amino acids booster).
Autumn: Preparing for Dormancy
As temperatures drop and daylight hours shorten, plants begin to slow their growth. This is the time to strengthen their resilience for the colder months ahead.
Key Tasks:
- Gradually reduce watering as plants enter dormancy.
- Trim back perennials and remove spent flowers.
- Enrich the soil with compost or fertilisers to restore depleted nutrients.
- Bring sensitive plants indoors or protect them with coverings.
- You can slow down fertilising a bit.. but look at each plant individually, if growth is steady, keep your fertilisation routine as it is (especially for indoor plants).
Recommended HESI Products:
- PK 13/14 – A phosphorus and potassium booster that helps reinforce plant cell walls and prepare them for winter.
- PowerZyme – Continues to support soil health, ensuring optimal conditions for the next growing season.
- TNT Complex – A light but effective nutrient source to maintain plant strength before winter dormancy.
- SuperVit - yes there it is again.. this booster is simply great for each phase to support your plant with key factors in each phase. Your plant needs all the vitamins and amino acids required to store its reserves for the upcoming winter.
Winter: Rest and Recovery
Cold temperatures and reduced light slow plant growth (and our own efficiency.. isn’t it?), making this a season of minimal intervention but essential preparation for the next cycle.
Key Tasks:
- Reduce fertilisation if needed for outdoor and indoor plants and watering to prevent root rot - do observe each plant individually.
- Keep indoor plants near light sources and monitor humidity levels if heating is on. Place houseplants away from heating sources and keep cups of water close to avoid drought.
- Protect outdoor plants with mulch or frost covers.
- Plan for the upcoming growing season by organizing seeds, tools, and fertilisers.
Recommended HESI Products:
- Root Complex – If growing plants indoors, this product continues to support root health and resilience.
- PowerZyme – Maintains soil vitality even when plants are less active.
- SuperVit – A small but powerful boost for houseplants that need extra support during low-light months.
- HousePlant Elixir - for HousePlants you can continue feeding them with our all in one houseplant fertiliser, you might want to drop the amount from weekly to 2x a month. However, this is fully dependent on the type of plant. If your houseplant for example is in a greenhouse with optimal humidity and light sources, you can continue fertilising as normal.
