Consultations
A houseplant expert, in your home, looking at your actual plants
Care advice from the internet is written for someone else's plant in someone else's house. In one visit I look at your plants, your light, and your routine, and leave you a plan built for exactly what you have.
Flat $185 house call from Sarasota to Port Charlotte. Two hours, written plan included. Virtual consults from $65.
What you get
- Every plant identified, including the mystery ones, with honest notes on which are thriving and which are quietly struggling.
- A room-by-room review of light, AC drafts, and humidity, and which plant belongs where.
- A written care plan: how much water, how often, what food, and what to watch for, plant by plant.
- Straight answers to everything you have wondered about your plants but never had anyone to ask.
Why Florida homes are their own puzzle
Houseplants here live in air conditioning most of the year, then meet real humidity every time the lanai door opens. Bright Gulf Coast sun through a west window can scorch a plant that would be fine anywhere else, while a north room stays darker than plant tags assume. A consultation sorts out what your home actually offers and matches each plant to it.
Good times to book one
Moving into a new home, inheriting plants, coming home to a struggling collection after a season away, or any time your plants have outgrown the advice that came on the tag. Start with a consultation and every other service has a plan behind it.
Common questions
What happens during a consultation?
I walk your home with you and look at every plant: what it is, whether its spot suits it, and what its care should look like. You leave with a written plan covering watering, feeding, light, and anything that needs attention now. A virtual consult covers the same ground over video for up to 5 plants.
Do I need a problem to book one?
No. Many consultations are simply a fresh start: new home, new plants, an inherited collection, or a houseplant habit that grew faster than the know-how. A consultation gets every plant on the right routine before problems start.
Can you help me pick new plants too?
Yes. Part of most consultations is matching plants to the light and humidity you actually have. If you want a full plan for choosing and arranging new plants, the aesthetic design service goes deeper.
