πŸ”₯ Pot it like it's hot πŸͺ΄ Root-bound? Not on my watch 🌱 Leaf it to me

Roots circling the pot like they're looking for an exit? Soil that's more dust bunny than dirt? Plant suddenly too big for its britches… or its pot?

Put down the trowel and back away slowly. I'll pot it like it's hot. πŸ”₯

Hi! I'm your plant lady πŸ‘‹

Your dreaded plant chore is my idea of a fun time

I'm an avid houseplant collector and personally keep 100+ plants alive in my own home. (Yes, all of them. No, I will not be taking questions about where they all fit.)

I genuinely love repotting, propagating, mixing up custom soils, and figuring out what each plant needs to thrive. So whether it's a repot, a rehab, or a general β€œplease help, I don't know wtf my plant wants from me” situation, I'm your gal.

What I'll get my hands dirty for

Plant-astic services

  • Repotting, refreshing & full-on plant rehab
  • Root-bound babies & root cleanup
  • Dividing, pruning & propagating (when your plant's into it)
  • Custom potting mixes, because a cactus and a fern do not want the same dirt
  • Nursery pots, if you need 'em
  • Cleaning up the mess. You'll never know I was there, except your plants will look amazing

🌿 A word on calatheas: these drama queens want humidity, humidity, and more humidity, and they'll crisp up the second the air gets dry. If you've got one that's alive and happy, honestly? I'm impressed. Teach me your ways.

Burning questions πŸ”₯

Plant-FAQs

Do you deal with pests?

No ma'am. I'm not getting involved in a pest situation. Evict the critters first, and then I'm happy to help with everything else.

How do I measure my pot?

Measure straight across the top of the pot, rim to rim. That's the number for both the drop-off price and the supply prices.

Can I bring my own pots and soil?

Absolutely! I'll work with what you've got, or fill in whatever's missing at the supply prices above.

I live outside the Loop. Can you still come?

Yes! A small travel fee may apply depending on distance. Send me your location and I'll confirm the fee before we schedule.

How do I pay?

Venmo is my love language, but I also take Cash App, Zelle, cash, and even checks.

My plant is HUGE. Can you handle it?

Probably! For 15"+ pots or particularly big, heavy plants, send me a photo and I'll give you a quote.
