What is included in plant care maintenance sessions?
Plant care maintenance sessions are an opportunity to breathe new life into your plants. In these visits we'll assess what you plant needs and take action to address as many problems as possible during the hour long session.
In-person plant check-ups allow our team to go more in-depth. Based on the condition of your plant, your Plant Nurse will develop a treatment plant and take any initial first steps to get your plants on a good first track. One free repot is included. If repotting is needed for more than 1 plant, you can book a repotting session.
Most plants benefit from being repotted annually. Once a year has gone by, the nutrients in the soil have been exhausted, roots have grown significantly, and hopefully your plant has grown as well.
A fresh repotting will help your plant continue to grow and thrive. During a plant repotting your Plant Nurse will extract your plant from its pot, loosen the soil, snip the roots, and repot your plant with a fresh soil specially mixed for your plant.
Plants can be repotted in their same plant, a slightly larger plant, or a spare pot you have. We also sell ceramic and terracotta pots.
What is included in a plant sitting session?
Each plant sitting session is 60-minutes. During that session your Plant Nurse will water your plants (as needed), prune any dead leaves, and repot up to 1 plant.
How much do you charge for plant repotting?
Plant care sessions start at $225. Mobile plant nurses come to your home and address your plant care needs. Mobile plant care is often easier on you, as you don't have to transport your plant(s) to get care and it saves you time and effort. Prices for mobile plant care services vary based on service location, # of plants, & size of plants.
