Best Answer

Nitrogen-type fertilizer stimulates the growth of foliage. Too much of the fertilizer though can cause your plant to concentrate on focus on growing leafage which isn't particularly good for fruiting plants and trees so don't overdo it otherwise you will end up with a tiny radish the size of a five cent piece crossed with a tropical fern.

It allows more surface area for the plant to absorb the light. Plants in low light environments will produce bigger leaves to get the most of what they can.
