The Essentials
These are my go to plant care essentials that I keep in my tool bag. I use these products daily in my plant care sessions!
Reusable Dusters
These reusable dusters are an eco friendly option over single use Swiffer dusters. They work great to collect dust off of plant’s leaves and planters.
Dusting plant’s leaves not only keeps the plant looking clean and fresh, but also helps the leaves to absorb sunlight better.
These also work great for dusting around the house, so they can be used for dual purposes!
Toss ‘em in the washer when your done!
Reusable Hand Dusters
These reusable microfiber gloves work great to dust and buff out plant leaves. By gently wiping the leaves with these gloves, it will leave them with a nice buffed out shine.

Garden Safe Insecticide
This is my go to insecticide for interior plants. I find it works well to help rid of mealy bugs, spider mite, thrip and aphids. It’s non oily and does not have a strong scent like some of the other sprays out there. It’s non toxic to humans.
*You can purchase this at most local nurseries, which I always recommend supporting your small local nurseries whenever you can!

Systemic Pest Control
I sprinkle this on the soil to help keep interior plant pests under control. It works by getting absorbed into the roots and killing pests as when they eat the plant tissue.
I ONLY use this on interior plants as it can be harmful to beneficial insects in the garden.

These are my favorite clippers to use for pruning back woodier stemmed plants like Fiddle Leaf and Dracaenas. They are super sturdy and well made.

Corona Clippers
I can’t live without these sturdy shears! I use them multiple times a day when I’m working, from clipping softer plant stems to cutting twine and anything else that comes my way that needs a lil’ snippy snip!
Fiskars Multi-Purpose Shears
I like to use these shears for anything that needs more precise cutting, such as snipping herbs or clipping succulent leaves.
Precision Shears
I FRIGGIN’ LOVE THIS MAT! I use it for indoor and outdoor repotting whether I’m at home or in client’s space or office. It makes clean up a breeze and it folds up super flat so it doesn’t take up much room in my tool bag.
Potting Mat
I love this ladder for its compact and light weight, yet sturdy design. It’s the perfect height to reach plants up on shelves or reaching taller plant’s leaves for dusting.
It folds up flat which makes it easy to store. I love it so much that I keep one at home and one in the plant van!
Step Ladder
Natural Jute Twine
I always have this twine on deck and use it often for staking up plants such as Monsteras and other wiley plants that need support.
It’s an eco friendly alternative to some of the other plant ties out there made out of plastic materials.
