As we move into spring, your houseplants are entering their active growing season. The days are getting longer, light intensity is increasing, and most tropical plants respond by producing new leaves and expanding their root systems. With that growth comes a shift in care. Watering frequency often changes, nutrients become more important, and many plants outgrow their containers this time of year.
Houseplant 101 is designed to help you understand exactly what happens in spring and how to adjust your care with intention and confidence.
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll cover:
✨ How increased daylight impacts watering and growth
✨ When and how to repot properly
✨ How root systems function and why soil structure matters
✨ Choosing the right soil blends
✨ Fertilizing basics for the growing season
✨ How to prevent common issues like overwatering & pests
✨ How to do a full assessment of your home, including light direction, window exposure, and seasonal changes
✨ How to shop for plants strategically so you’re choosing varieties that will thrive in your specific environment
You’ll select a plant and pot during the workshop and repot it with guided instruction, applying what you’re learning in real time. Beyond repotting, the goal is to help you understand how to evaluate your space before you buy and how to support long-term plant health once spring growth begins.
