Module 4 · Food — less than you think
Recall + plans
22 / 33
Make it stick
Two quick things that do more for retention than re-reading ever will: turn the module into if-then plans, then pull the key facts back from memory.
Tie it to something you already do
Finish each line — an intention pinned to an existing habit is far more likely to happen than a vague resolution.
- → If it is winter and growth has stopped, then I will stop feeding until spring.
- → If I am about to feed, then I will dilute to about half the label rate rather than the full dose.
- → If a plant has brown, crispy leaf tips and a crust on the soil, then I will flush the pot with plain water before I feed again.
- → If a plant is struggling in poor light, then I will fix the light rather than reach for fertiliser.
Quick recall
Answer each from memory first — then flip.
Q1. When and at what strength should you feed most houseplants?
Q2. Does more fertiliser make a plant grow faster?

Q4. How do you flush salts out of a pot?
