Boosting your plants’ growth

To maximize rapid growth, place your plants in bright indirect light. Light is the engine of photosynthesis and therefore growth. Fertilize regularly from April to September, every 2 weeks with diluted liquid fertilizer. Check out our guide to prepare your plants for spring.

Water regularly without overdoing it. Actively growing plants consume more water. Use the finger test to check moisture. Repot as soon as roots come out of the pot: a container that’s too small slows growth.

Which indoor plants grow the fastest?

Pothos, philodendron scandens, tradescantias, and bamboo are the fastest-growing indoor plants. They produce several dozen centimeters of new stems per month under optimal conditions.

How can I speed up my plants’ growth?

Place your plants in bright indirect light, fertilize every 2 weeks from April to September, and repot regularly. Light, nutrients, and root space are the three key factors for fast growth.

Are fast-growing plants easy to care for?

Yes, most fast-growing plants like pothos, philodendron, and tradescantias are very easy to care for. They forgive mistakes and adapt to different conditions. Ideal for beginners.

How long does it take to get an urban jungle?
