Plant Rx: Houseplant Clinic

  • Thursday, August 28, 2025, 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM

Wondering if you should repot your houseplant? Trying to get your orchid to rebloom? Can't tell what that plant is that you picked up impulsively and don’t know too much about? Come to the Houseplant Clinic! We can help identify it and tell you how to take care of it. Come learn about light and water requirements, nutrition, how to keep insects away, and what to if you do get some. Bring us your plants and your questions! Note that this is an "office hours" style program and you can come anytime between 4pm and 6pm.
