Your plants called. They need some help.
Indoor Plant Care + Repotting Services from A Thing With Plants
Going out of town? Have plants that need a little extra attention?
Or maybe that pothos you’ve had for three years has officially outgrown its pot?
A Thing With Plants offers in-home plant care and repotting services for houseplant owners in Muncie and surrounding areas.
Going Away? Your Plants Don’t Have To.
Whether you’re heading out for a weekend or a longer trip, I can check in on your plants while you’re gone and care for them according to their individual needs.
- Watering based on each plant’s needs
- Moisture and overall plant health checks
- Common pest checks and basic pest care
- Light pruning and cleanup
- Fertilizing upon request
- Photo updates while you’re away
Is Your Plant Feeling a Little Cramped?
Not every unhappy plant needs a bigger pot — and sometimes figuring out what it needs is half the battle.
I can help determine whether your plant actually needs repotting and give it a fresh start when it does.
- Assess whether repotting is needed
- Choose an appropriately sized pot
- Refresh soil as needed
- Basic root and plant cleanup
- Repotting and aftercare guidance
What Kind of Plants Do You Care For?
I’m most comfortable with tropical houseplants, including pothos, philodendrons, Monstera, other aroids, and many common houseplants.
Have something a little unusual or particularly fussy? I’m happy to talk through its care needs ahead of time to make sure it’s a good fit.
Plant Care Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All
I don’t believe in watering every plant on the same schedule just because it’s Tuesday.
I’ll check the soil, moisture level and overall condition of your plants before deciding what they need, while following any specific care instructions you provide.
I’m also a longtime houseplant parent, the creator of A Thing With Plants, and currently work hands-on with plants of all types at a local greenhouse.
