A steadier way to live with houseplants

A schedule taped to the fridge is a poor substitute for knowing whether the mix is still wet at the roots. The visit replaces that guess with a short rule.

Potted leaves beside a window

Why the usual tip fails

Watering on the same weekday feels tidy until a clay pot beside a heater dries in two days. Moving a plant one metre can matter more than a new bottle if that metre changes the hours of usable light. People using the shade audit stop judging moisture from the colour of the top centimetre alone. You can start with one room. A whole-home round is for people who already know the rhythm.

What the room is actually doing

Yellow leaves get blamed on thirst, the soil is soaked, and the roots sit without air. A written note beats a memory of what seemed right on a busy Sunday. People using the shade audit stop judging moisture from the colour of the top centimetre alone. Nothing here promises that every species will recover. It is a way to stop the same mistake.

The visit, in order

Watering on the same weekday feels tidy until a clay pot beside a heater dries in two days. Dust on a leaf is ordinary, and it still reduces the light that reaches the green tissue. Under the shade audit, each plant gets a single job for the month: hold, recover, or move. The work is practical: wipe the leaves, cut obvious dead tissue, and repot only when the roots ask for it.

Notes from households

Feed day was a scoop from a bottle I did not understand. Now there is a date and a tiny amount, only when the plant is actually growing. The reply does not depend on a public review instead of a vague promise. The same words are used in the reply.

Greta Paulus, Lyon

I was ready to throw the calathea out. It did not become perfect. It did stop crisping every new leaf once the pot was off the heater. The guide price does not depend on a public review instead of a vague promise. The same words are used in the reply.

Simon Ward, Bordeaux

The rubber plant sat in a pretty pot with no hole. We moved it into a plain nursery pot inside the ceramic one, and a leaf finally opened. The next step does not depend on a public review instead of a vague promise. The same words are used in the reply.

What you can expect

Ordinary materials

Studies of plants grown indoors suggest growth changes when light and water are steady rather than dramatic. Guide prices are on this site so you can decide before you write. The follow-up names what is included instead of a vague promise. The same words are used in the reply.

Ordinary materials

The useful question is how fast this pot loses weight in this room, not how often people water in general. If a plant is already too far gone, we say so and suggest a replacement that suits the light you have. The menu title names what is included instead of a vague promise. The same words are used in the reply.

Ordinary materials

A dry crust can hide mix that is still damp around the roots, so the surface is a weak signal. You can start with one room. A whole-home round is for people who already know the rhythm. The household names what is included instead of a vague promise. The same words are used in the reply.

A scope you can see

Request a reply

Write with the room you care about first, not a full inventory of every pot. A photo helps, and so does a sentence about how you water now. We read the note, match it to a visit on the list, and reply by email with timing and the guide price repeated so nothing is implied. The written card does not depend on a public review instead of a vague promise. The same words are used in the reply.

Start with one clear step

The shade audit starts with a sketch of the light, then the pot, then one watering rule you can repeat. You can start with one room. A whole-home round is for people who already know the rhythm.

A plant can look fine for a fortnight after it comes home, then stop, because the shop light was stronger. If a plant is already too far gone, we say so and suggest a replacement that suits the light you have.
