The Plant Doctor
Ever wonder if you’re taking care of your plants in the right way? While Google and plant apps are useful for research, it helps to have a scientific lens to view these resources. Let me be your resource for all things plant care! In this section, I have compiled videos that delve into plant care topics like pest scouting and repotting.
repotting blunders
Repotting is an important step in spring interior gardening. Houseplants need more room to grow as they age and thrive. Repotting is often done in the spring because days are starting to lengthen, and more light, equals more growth. Allow for root expansion by repotting and avoiding the top 5 blunders that people commonly make. Check out this episode to learn how!

I've seen it before, and I'm sure I'll see it again. Confusion surrounds pots and containers when it comes to making a choice about what will work best for the plant in question.
