You will have to name what the plants are before anyone can help on this. :)

I use liquid fertilizer on my houseplants. I usually mix it half the strength that the lable recommends. The reason I do this is to slow the buildup of salts in the soil, which happens faster in a container than in open ground. :)

(Cute sig line, btw! :) )
