Plant Rehabilitation Prices:

Pricing for plant rehabilitation varies by size and the extremity of care required. Please send a picture of your sick plant to info@scrimsflorist.com and we will create an estimate for you. 

At Home Repots:

We offer in-person visits to homes and businesses for repots that may be too big or difficult to bring into the store. To book this service, please note we require 1 week's notice. You can send us a message here or email us at info@scrimsflorist.com to arrange an appointment at your convenience. 

Our home/business visits offer:

  • An assessment of the plant's health 
  • Services such as repotting, changing soil, pruning leaves, and adding stakes 
  • Pest evaluation and treatment 

Home Visit Pricing:

The minimum fee for visitation is $100, which will cover up to an hour of labour. For larger jobs, an additional fee is added. Overall costs will vary depending on the materials used. 

Prices of repots vary depending on the materials used. Please refer to our general repotting price points for an idea of pricing.

Please note that we are here to keep your plants happy and healthy. We may evaluate that the plants may not need to be repotted!

Some Tips for Evaluating your Plant's Health

At Scrim's, we are familiar with all kinds of plant viruses, infestations, and other ailments. Our trained horticulturalists on staff will be able to identify and supply treatment options for your plants.

Here are some things to look out for if you are worried about a plant:

1. Overwatering:

What to do if your plant's soil smells | Planta

One of the most common tendencies we have is to smother our plants with love - and often this takes the form of overwatering them. Remember to look up the plant variety and how moist it likes its soil - all plants are different and your watering schedule for one plant may not suit the others.

2. Underwatering:

The Essential Guide To Watering Your Houseplants | WallyGro – WallyGrow

Sometimes our fear of overwatering a plant can lead to underwatering. While overwatering is a worry, no plant likes to be in soil that is bone dry either.

3.Circling/Girdling Roots:

Often your plant will look sick because it has outgrown its grow pot. When this happens, your plant will need to be transferred to a pot with more space.

5. Parasites:

Common Houseplant Pests: Identify, Control And Prevent - Smart Garden Guide

There are many tiny insects that can be harmful to plants, but which can be dealt with at home. Check your plant thoroughly for signs of infestation - especially on the undersides of leaves, on stems and in places where your plant grows tightly.
