What do you feed indoor potted plants to keep them alive and healtrhy in the summer longest?

my mother has a plant in the front of our home, indoors right in the window of the front door window so it can get lots of sun. However, it always wilts a bit in the summer and she wanted to know the best way to keep it alive and healthy??





thank you so much in advance!





I know that for unpotted indoor plants you add bleach to water, but s that the same for potted plants as well? Or is there something else we should mix with the water?

I have a bird nest fern that's in the sun. It was looking really bad (yellow and burned) so I gave it a shower, some Miracle Grow and a 2 day vacation in a cool corner away from the window. now it looks great! I wouldn't use bleach!
Reply:You didn't say what type it is. Most indoor plants can't handle direct sunlight. If it wilts a bit during the summer it could be needing more water than you give it in the winter. There are a lot of liquid indoor plant foods on the market. If you mix with water use only half of what the directions say and everything will be just fine.
