Pest Management
Where there are plants, you can be certain there will be pesky creatures looking to munch. Unfortunately for houseplant parents, this holds true not just to greenhouses, but even inside our homes. That does not mean we cannot be prepared, and minimize any harm that may befall your plants.

Before purchasing a new houseplant consider the following:
- Lighting: The most critical element for indoor plants is determining how much light your plant will receive on a daily basis. Each plant has their own needs.
- Watering: Watering is the next crucial part of caring for your plants, indoor or outdoor. Over-watering is easy to do and can lead to root rot, disease, or killing your plant altogether. Each plant can have different requirements so be sure to ask us what your specific plant needs. Room temperature and pot size has a large factor in the growth of your plant. Vermont winters can be harsh on indoor house plants unless they are in ideal conditions
- Size: Think long-term when purchasing a houseplant. Some plants purchased at a small size will remain that way, while others will grow and inevitably cover a large area of your home or office! Make sure to research your plant’s potential growth size. While most plants will reach their full size potential (with proper care), others can be stunted by keeping them root-bound in small pots and pruning aggressively.
- Time: If you don’t have a lot of time during your busy work-week to devote to your new plant, choose a plant or flower that requires a small amount of maintenance. Average houseplants will need watering approximately one time each week. If your conditions are dry, hot, or the light is very bright, they may need more. Some plants, like bonsai, will require much more of your time as you need to keep them well watered, free of insects, pruned and properly potted.
