I've been caring for houseplants for over ten years, but I just realized I've never fertilized them! I'm really regretting all that missed potential for growth and vibrancy. What are some good fertilizer options and tips for someone just starting out?

It really varies by plant type, but if you're new to fertilizing, I'd recommend grabbing an all-purpose fertilizer that dissolves in water—super easy to use! I apply it to all my actively growing plants. For the slower-growing ones, like succulents, I dilute it even more. You can tailor your choice later for specific plants, but for about $8, you can get enough to cover most plants you'll likely have.
Quick question: Is the fertilizer for outdoor gardens basically the same as what's sold for houseplants? Should I be getting a separate one or can I use it for both?
