Q&A for How to Grow Plants Faster

Two types of liquids can help plants grow faster. The first is a liquid fertilizer that helps replenish the missing nutrients in the soil. Another option is something called manure tea which is a smelly mixture of manure and water left out to ripen.

It is best to test the soil for the proper balance of nutrients. Also, make sure the plant is getting the optimal amount of both water and sun.

The fastest growing plants include arugula, spinach, and baby carrots, among others.

The fastest growing plants are the cosmos, marigold, and sweet alyssum which will sprout in 5-7 days.

That really depends on what your soil needs, so get a soil test from your local garden center. You can also have your soil tested by your local Department of Agriculture.

It depends on the plants, but use a grow light or place the plants near a windowsill where light is easily acquired.

Outdoor plants tend to get more sunlight and water than indoor plants, and their food source is better in the soil.

They absorb the extra water; other than that they don't have much use.

No, but you can use milk or ground coffee.

The instructions should be on the package, but it is suggested that if you are using granulated fertilizers you should water the plants immediately after to stop the fertilizer from "burning" the plant.

Absolutely - add the spent coffee grounds to to filtered H2O and water as normal!

About three fourths of a cup to 1 full cup, but it depends on the plant so do what the instructions say.

If you use fresh coffee grounds, they may color the roots brown and leave residue on them. Also, any excess water that escapes the pot will stain anything it escapes to.

No, but be aware that the quality and germination rate varies by brand and species, so look out for that.

You grow plants by buying seeds and making a small hole in the dirt to put them in or putting them in a pot. Make sure to water the soil and add fertilizer.

It depends on which fertilizer you buy. Check the instructions on the packaging.

It should take about 22-28 days to be able to harvest a radish after planting.

You can transplant it at night, but it is bad for the roots to get exposed to air for a long amount of time. About 3 minutes would be ideal.

Yes; check out Build a Homemade Hydroponics System for details.

Yes, they add a lot of calcium that plants need. Grind them up and add them to your soil mixture.

It takes around 14 weeks. You should sow the seeds indoors for the best growth.

Epsom salt can add missing magnesium and can also help if you have high PH. If you aren't lacking magnesium or need that PH adjustment though, you are more likely to poison your soil and damage or kill your plant. Real fertilizer is way better and safer.

Your plants may need nutrients. Make sure they are getting the right type and amount of nutrients. This will need to be determined by the type of plant.

There are 3 plants that help each other the most: squash, corn, and beans. The corn creates a structure to help the beans grow. The beans releases nitrogen into the soil for the other plants, and the squash keep out weeds and keep moisture in the soil. So, beans and a stiff plant would help each other out very well.
