Bring your plants, pots, or pick out pots at the shop and repot them in our gallery space. We provide a wide selection of soil, and plenty of space to spread out and repot all your plants with ease. Leave the mess to us.
HOW IT WORKS:
1. COST: $25 per person (no limit on plants, pots, or sizes); FIRST COME FIRST SERVE.
2. You bring plants for repotting (no limit on quantity or sizes!)
3. We provide our custom blends of soils including our Aroid mix, Base mix, Hoya blend, ORCHID BARK, and Cactus/Succulent blend.
4. We can also assist with repotting, training, trimming, and other plant care as needed!
WAYS TO TELL IF YOUR PLANT NEEDS REPOTTING:
💩Soil/substrate looks tired, cruddy, compacted, or just in need of a redo
💦Soil holds water for longer than it should (suggesting poor drainage or breakdown of drainage properties in your soil)
🏃Water runs right around the soil and out the bottom of the pot. Could indicate either highly compacted soil that resists absorbing water, OR that your plant is root-bound and needs more soil and space to grow in.
🗓️It’s been longer than 2 years since you last repotted. OR you can’t remember the last time it was repotted.
🤒Plant seems to be declining or looking less than it’s best. After addressing watering routine, lighting, and possible pests, repotting is typically the next step on the list.
BENEFITS TO REPOTTING:
😍Chance to see the root system, which is a good indicator of the overall health of your plant!
💃New soil = more nutrients for your plant! Chances are, if you aren’t fertilizing, the plant has probably taken what it can from the soil in the pot and would benefit from a refresh of nutrients.
✨Helps your plant grow bigger! But, let’s not get too carried away…we only want to size up our pot about 1-2” bigger from what your plant is currently growing in. Slow and steady…
🥰New adorable pots! Want to redo your color scheme, need a spring reset? Choice in pots is abundant here and new colors, shapes, and textures can bring new life to your indoor decor!
🤓No soil or pot is created equal. Need help?! Good news! We are here for you AND will have staff available to answer questions!
WE WILL BE HOSTING A POTTING DAY OPEN HOUSE SESSION EVERY MONTH DURING THE GROWING SEASON!
