Absolutely. Feeding your plants nutrient-dense plant food, especially after transplanting them into a new pot or into the ground, is essential. Plants need nutrients in order to absorb moisture more efficiently and grow healthy, strong, and resilient root structures that help them produce beautiful and good-quality fruit and blooms. On its own, soil doesn’t contain that right amount of nutrients plants need to thrive, so it’s important to fortify it with plant food and fertilizer.
