We're people who actually care about your plants surviving
Started back in early 2023 when a friend asked why their ficus kept dropping leaves. That one conversation turned into helping dozens of Baku households figure out what their plants actually need.
Most plant problems aren't complicated. They just need someone to look at what's really happening instead of throwing generic advice around.
How we ended up doing this full-time
It started with houseplants. Then office spaces. Then someone with a rooftop garden who'd tried everything and was about to give up entirely.
What we noticed: people were getting overwhelmed by conflicting information online. Water every day. Never water that much. Full sun. No direct light. It's exhausting when you just want your plants to be okay.
We focus on figuring out what's actually happening in your specific situation. Your light conditions. Your schedule. Your climate. Generic care guides miss all of that, which is why they often don't work.
By mid-2024, we were doing this every week. Made sense to commit properly, so here we are.
What we actually do during consultations
No scripts. No one-size-fits-all recommendations. Just looking at what you've got and figuring out realistic next steps.
Assessment visits
We come look at your space, check light levels throughout the day, test soil conditions, and spot issues you might not notice daily. Takes about an hour usually.
Custom care plans
Written guides based on your actual routine and environment. Includes seasonal adjustments because Baku summers hit differently than autumn months.
Follow-up support
Text us photos when something looks off. Quick check-ins when you're unsure. We'd rather catch problems early than have you worry for weeks.
The two of us handling everything
Small team means you're not explaining your situation to different people every time. We both know your setup and remember what we discussed last month.
Rhett Calloway
Lead Botanical Consultant
Spent five years working with greenhouse operations before moving to Baku in 2021. Handles most diagnostics and problem-solving for plants that seem beyond help. Usually they're not.
Teagan Harlow
Plant Health Specialist
Background in soil science and pest management. Does the detail work that keeps plants thriving long-term rather than just surviving. Also handles all the paperwork Rhett avoids.
What matters to us professionally
These aren't mission statement platitudes. They're the practical guidelines we use when deciding how to help someone.
Honest assessments
If a plant's too far gone, we'll tell you. If you're creating more work than needed, we'll mention that too. Saves everyone time and money.
Practical solutions
We suggest changes that fit your actual life. No point recommending daily misting if you travel constantly for work. Let's find what actually works for your situation.
Local knowledge
Baku's climate affects everything. The wind off the Caspian. Summer heat that bakes south-facing windows. We account for that instead of copying advice meant for London or Los Angeles.
Let's figure out what your plants need
First consultation covers assessment and immediate recommendations. Usually helps clarify whether you need ongoing support or just a one-time adjustment to your current approach.
