frequently asked questions
What do I need to supply for you to do a repot?
I will supply the soil and the tools required for me to do a plant transplant (repotting). I will bring a tarp to work on, but things can still get messy.
​
I need the client to supply a pot approx 3" larger than your current pot. If you have a very tall or wild looking plant that needs a moss pole or a stake please let me know. I can purchase in advance and supply you with final cost, or you can supply one for the repot date.
What kind of soil do you use?
I create my own mix! By base is Pro Mix premium potting soil. I add in more perlite, planting charcoal, and compost.
​
The resulting soil is light, and has good drainage.
​
For cacti I create a sand based mix.
Will you purchase a new pot for me?
I sure can! I need to know the current size of pot your plant is in, the colour scheme you like, and a budget. Please keep in mind the larger the pot size, the more costly and hard to find the planters are.
​
I charge $35 per hour for shopping. This will include any returns required.
​
You will see final charges on your invoice.
Do you come to offices and restaurants?
I have worked in both offices and a restaurant!
I'm available for plant care, and plant design suggestions.
