The best food for your plants
When do you feed your plant You do not have to feed your houseplant all year round. Your plant has the most appetite in the growing period and this is from March to October. Have you just purchased a new plant? Then wait another two months with feeding.
When not? Ok, your plant has absolutely no appetite for food in the winter so do not give it. No... not even if the plant looks hungry because the leaves seem to fall off. This usually has a different cause. Does your plant suffer from pests? Even then it is wiser not to give food. When pests have left your plant, food can help to recover from the inside out.

Houseplants such as the Sansevieria grow less quickly and will therefore need less nutrition. In this case, use half or perhaps even a quarter of what is stated on the packaging. It is wise to take into account that green plants that are further away from the window grow slower anyway and therefore need less nutrition.
So... does your houseplant look hungry? This does not always mean that he is actually hungry. Some plants also survive without extra nutrition, but will certainly appreciate a little nutrition every now and then.
