Plant Technicians
They are not just plant waterers.
The skills our plant technicians at Interior Gardens possess can be best described as a well-developed gift. Over the years they have cultivated an understanding how to read plants not only by what they observe, but also what they don’t see.
Upon arrival, the experienced plant technician notes facility changes. These subtleties can affect the health of indoor plants.
Changes in outdoor weather that may affect the indoor climate
Extremes in temperature and natural light
Window shade, curtain settings, and amount of artificial light
Plant location i.e. shoved against wall, too close to window
These factors play into the amount of water a plant will need.
Then they look at the individual plant.
Position– is it drooping, leaning, or losing excessive leaves
Cleanliness and/or evidence of disease of any kind
Checking soil for quality and moisture level
Every visit the technician will
Water and fertilize the plant as needed
Rotate plant a quarter turn to keep its growth symmetrical
Relocate or periodically change location for better lighting
Dust spray or clean a section of the plant to keep foliage healthy
Clean spills and dirt accumulation from the exterior pot
Fluff staging that keeps interior pot covered and looking aesthetically pleasing
Clean floor surrounding plant where spent leaves, blossoms, and plant debris collect
OH..and don’t forget all the plant consulting they do when asked for advice along the way!
Other seasonal duties include
Pruning plants to promote new healthy growth, symmetrically shape and keep plants proportional to their environment.
Detecting and troubleshoot any signs of plant stress
Suggesting timely replacements
Keeping those holiday poinsettias looking great to the new year
These assessments happen in a split second while the technician moves efficiently from plant to plant within a facility. All this to provide the best plant environment for a healthy indoor life.
We take our plant watering seriously!
