The Obi Plants Spa Treatment
The plants that come from Obi Plants are set up to thrive. I give all of my plants a “spa treatment” before they go to their new homes that they don’t typically get at retail shops. The plants Obi Plants provides are either grown from propagations from my personal collection, or sourced from several local wholesalers. But they all get the spa treatment — no matter where they come from.

Plants are purchased wholesale and either shipped or picked up. Plants are unpacked as soon as they arrive.

Each entire plant is cleaned of dead leaves, damaged leaves, water spots, pests, and any other debris that shouldn’t be there.

Each plant is then removed from its wholesale grower pot, and the roots are cleaned, checked, and treated for any rot, fungal issues, or pests. It’s then re-potted in the correct potting mixture and pot type for its specific needs.

Each plant is then grown in a climate controlled greenhouse for a minimum of 2 weeks. During their time in the greenhouse, all plants are regularly given nutrients and pest prevention treatments, and closely monitored for any issues.

Once the plant is thriving in the greenhouse, it’s moved to an acclimation space to adjust to typical household conditions for a minimum of 1 week. In this acclimation space, all plants are regularly given nutrients and pest prevention treatments, as well as kept looking their best with foliage cleaning products and nutrients that specifically support healthy, lush leaves.

The plants stay in the acclimation space until time to find their new homes!
