About Our Plant Care Practice
We are horticulture experts and educators dedicated to making plant care approachable, evidence-based, and personalized. Our virtual model removes guesswork through careful assessment, clear plans, and responsive follow-ups, helping you build durable skills and enjoy a thriving indoor garden that fits your life.
Getting Started with Your Plant Doctor
Begin with a simple booking flow, a brief plant health questionnaire, and secure uploads of photos or short videos. We confirm your goals, align on expectations, and prepare targeted questions to make your first consultation efficient, reassuring, and tailored to your plants and your routine.
Contact usBook Your First Consultation
Choose a time that works across time zones, receive instant confirmation, and complete a guided intake form covering plant species, age, pot size, watering habits, and recent changes. We review everything beforehand, ensuring your live session focuses on solutions, not guessing or repetitive information gathering.
Share Photos and Context
Upload clear images of leaves, stems, soil surface, and the entire setup near windows or grow lights. Add notes about watering frequency, fertilizers, drafts, pets, and seasonal shifts. The more context you provide, the more precise our diagnosis and recommendations will be from day one.
Meet Your Specialist via Secure Video
Join a private, encrypted video session where we assess symptoms in real time, ask clarifying questions, and demonstrate techniques. You get a prioritized action list before we end the call, plus written instructions and resource links to help you implement changes confidently after the appointment.
Comprehensive Plant Health Assessment
We look beyond surface symptoms to evaluate environmental stress, care history, and species-specific needs. Our assessments combine visual analysis with lifestyle considerations, ensuring the plan addresses root causes, prevents recurrence, and suits your daily habits, available tools, and comfort level with maintenance tasks.
Visual Symptom Analysis
We interpret patterns like chlorosis, edema, crisping, mosaic mottling, and distorted new growth to differentiate nutrient imbalances, overwatering, underwatering, pests, or pathogens. Close inspection of petioles, nodes, and roots helps us pinpoint likely triggers and choose the safest, most effective corrective steps.
Habit and History Review
We assess watering consistency, past repotting, pruning, travel schedules, and seasonal shifts in light or heating. Understanding your habits clarifies whether a problem stems from routine mismatches, sudden changes, or compounding stress, allowing us to tailor realistic adjustments you can maintain over time.
Risk and Priority Triage
We rank issues by urgency, focusing first on threats like root rot or active infestations. Secondary improvements follow once stability returns. This structured triage avoids overwhelm, protects nearby plants, and ensures your time and budget deliver the greatest health gains as quickly as possible.
Customized Care Plans That Fit Your Routine
We design care plans around your environment, schedule, tools, and experience. Each plan specifies watering volumes, timing cues, soil recipes, light targets, and seasonal adjustments. You receive clear checklists and milestones so progress is visible and adjustments are easy to incorporate without stress.
Tailored Watering Schedule
We translate vague guidance into measurable actions using soil feel, pot weight, moisture meters, and seasonal intervals. Your schedule adapts to pot size, substrate, and light intensity, preventing guesswork and reducing risks like chronic overwatering, hydrophobic soil, or dehydration during heat waves.
Nutrient and Soil Strategy
We match fertilizers and substrate blends to plant families and growth phases, balancing aeration, moisture retention, and cation exchange. You receive brand-agnostic product options, dosing calendars, and repot timing, eliminating deficiencies, salt buildup, and compaction while supporting strong roots and resilient foliage.
Environment Optimization Plan
We calculate light exposure using window orientation, distance, and intensity proxies, then recommend placement, sheer curtains, or grow lamps. Humidity and temperature guidance includes humidifiers, trays, and spacing strategies. Each step aligns with your budget and space constraints to maximize plant performance.
Pest and Disease Diagnostics
We identify pests and pathogens accurately before suggesting any intervention. Clear photos, tap tests, and sticky traps inform targeted protocols. We prioritize safety, resistance management, and prevention, combining mechanical, cultural, and chemical tools appropriately to restore health while protecting people, pets, and beneficial organisms.
Identification and Confirmation
We differentiate lookalikes like spider mites versus thrips, fungus gnats versus shore flies, and bacterial leaf spot versus fungal lesions. We confirm with symptom patterns, magnified images, and life cycle clues, ensuring treatments are purposeful instead of broad, wasteful, or potentially damaging to your plants.
Treatment Protocols That Work
Protocols outline application frequency, contact times, and rotation strategies to prevent resistance. We combine physical removal, targeted sprays, systemic options when appropriate, and environmental adjustments. Instructions prioritize safety and label compliance, with alternatives for sensitive species or homes with children and animals.
Prevention and Quarantine Guidance
Learn smart quarantine practices for new arrivals, sanitation routines, and inspection habits that catch problems early. We recommend isolation timelines, cleaning schedules, and monitoring tools, creating a sustainable defense that keeps recurring outbreaks rare and protects your entire collection from avoidable reinfestations.
Light and Environment Analysis
Strong photosynthesis starts with right-sized light. We translate your windows, shades, and layouts into actionable recommendations, then layer humidity, temperature, and airflow advice. The result is a stable microclimate that helps plants rebound faster and maintain lush growth without constant troubleshooting.
Water Quality and Technique Coaching
We evaluate tap water hardness, chlorine, and pH, advising filtration or alternatives when necessary. Techniques include bottom watering, thorough flushing, and drying cues specific to mixes. You learn to prevent root rot, mineral crusts, and hydrophobic pockets that undermine otherwise healthy plants.
Potting Mix Selection and Custom Blends
From chunky aroid blends to gritty cactus mixes, we balance aeration and retention using bark, perlite, pumice, and coco coir. You receive clear ratios, pre-made brand options, and repot intervals that protect roots, reduce compaction, and keep moisture within an ideal, forgiving range.
Drainage and Container Choices
We compare nursery pots, cachepots, and self-watering systems, outlining pros, cons, and transition strategies. Guidance covers drainage holes, saucers, liners, and wicks, helping you achieve reliable moisture control, hassle-free care, and fewer surprises after travel, seasonal changes, or busy workweeks.
Repotting, Pruning, and Propagation
Confident plant handling keeps collections vigorous. We teach timing, tools, and techniques for repotting rootbound plants, pruning for health and form, and propagating successfully. Each method includes sanitation steps, aftercare, and troubleshooting so your efforts translate into sustained, healthy growth.
