The Lazy Gardener's Guide to Fertilizing](https://blog.bcgreenhouses.com/why-breakfast-matters-feeding-plants-in-the-greenhouse) May 22, 2019, 10:24:00 AM ### Quick Answer: **Think fertilizing is optional? Think again.** Even the laziest greenhouse gardeners will see bigger blooms, healthier seedlings, and more resilient plants with the right fertilizer routine. Whether you’re starting cuttings or transplanting seedlings, container-grown plants need consistent nutrients due to frequent watering and limited soil volume. A simple system—like color-coded watering cans and diluted fertilizer solutions—makes regular feeding easy and effective. By using a light but frequent approach, even busy or forgetful gardeners can ensure robust root growth, reduced transplant shock, and thriving greenhouse plants from season to season. --- Truth be told, I can easily ignore a bit of soil spilled on the benches or an occasional unsterilized pot for seedlings. I don't always wear gloves, or fastidiously wash labels. I like the results in my greenhouse. My Sweet Peas bloom early, my tomatoes grow fat on the vine. A little mess, a few germs - my plants and I are no worse for the wear.
