The frequency of watering may change depending on your plant's pot size, how much light it gets, and the temperature of the environment. Feeding: Feed your plants a few times a year, in spring and summer, to keep them healthy. Use a general-purpose food labeled for houseplant use. Follow the directions on the packaging. Do not over feed your plant. Pruning/Shaping: Cut back old growth or branches that are getting out of hand straight down to the ground. Pinch off spent flowers just under the fading heads to encourage blooming. Repotting: Repot your plants when they become root bound. (A houseplant is root bound when roots appear in the soil or begin to escape through drain holes in the pot bottom.) Never repot houseplants using soil from your yard.
