SUMMARY:Houseplant Repotting Event
DESCRIPTION:The days are getting longer = it’s time to repot your indoor plants and we have everything you need!   \n\nSelect a time slot and the number of plants you would like to repot. In order to assist all participants we’re limiting it to 4 plants per household.\nBring your plants to the Soil & Spade Plant Shop in Downtown Crystal Lake – arrive any time within your two hour time slot.\nSelect a new pot from our collection OR bring a new pot from home OR repot your plant into its existing pot – the choice is yours.\nWe can assist you with the repotting or you can leave the plant with us while you visit one of the Downtown shops or restaurants and we’ll repot it for you.\n\nDoes my plant need a repotting?  \nWith few exceptions (very slow growers) most indoor plants will benefit from a repotting every 1-2 years. Repotting with fresh potting mix increases the vigor of the plant\, eliminates the buildup of salts and helps prevent soil-borne diseases. Repotting can mean up sizing your plant to a new\, slightly larger pot or root pruning and replanting into its original pot.  Here are some signs that your plant is ready for a repot: \n\nCircling roots or an abundance of roots growing out the bottom of the pot\nOverly dry\, dull\, depleted soil that does not absorb moisture when watered (the water just runs right out the bottom of the pot)\nYellowing leaves\, signs of root rot\, soil with a foul odor or fungus gnats\nLack of growth\nThe plant is just too big and top heavy in its too-small pot\n\nCost to Participate:  \nThe cost is $5 per plant for small to medium plants (4-10″ pot) plus the cost of materials. Our plant experts will be on hand to blend a soil mix custom to your plant and your watering practices AND offer recommendations for pest care and plant nutrition. \nIf you have a large plant over 3 ft tall or a pot diameter 12” plus please text a picture to 815-893-9848 for a custom quote. \nMaterials Cost:  \nThe leading cause of houseplant mortality… issues caused by using the wrong soil.  We carry a wide variety of premium potting mixes and supplemental ingredients available in bulk by the scoop so we can custom blend a mix that is JUST right for your plant.  Here’s what you can expect materials to cost: \n\nSol Soil Houseplant & Succulent Mix – 2 qt $20\, 4 qt $30\, Bulk $7/scoop\nProMix HP w/ Myco – Bulk $5/scoop\nCoast of Maine Indoor Houseplant Mix – 16 qt bag $24\nLeca – 1 qt $11 or Bulk $5/scoop\nPerlite – Bulk $5/scoop\nEvery repotted plant will receive a spoonful of ENRICH Powder to build strong\, resilient roots\, no extra charge\nPLUS decorative soil covers\, nutritional additives\, botanical accents and plant supports & accessories will be available for purchase.\n\nReserve your spot today: https://www.soilandspade.com/workshops-events.html \nFebruary 27th & 28th @ 10am-4pm – Time slots available.
