Whether you’re a new plant owner or a seasoned indoor gardener, chances are you’ve had your fair share of challenges with tricky, uncooperative plants.
From yellow to brown leaves and everything in between, to leggy plants, to fungus gnats, and more—the challenges facing houseplants never seem to end.
Don’t worry—you’re not alone! During this class, join Longwood Senior Grower Kassie Williams for a crash course in common houseplant ailments including pests, diseases, watering and light issues, and more. Be sure to bring a photo of your own troubled houseplant—or bring the plant itself!—to gather tips directly from our plant experts on how to rejuvenate it and help it thrive. We’ll also visit Longwood’s greenhouses to get a first-hand look into how our floriculture team handles our plants. You’ll leave with the confidence and knowledge you need to nurse your favorite plants back to perfect health.
