"My monstera had yellow leaves for months and three different blog posts told me three different things. Fifteen minutes with Emma and the actual cause (compacted soil) was obvious. It's putting out new leaves now."

Rachel M · 15-minute consult

"Booked the 30 minutes to plan plants for a dark north-facing flat. Came away with a list of six plants, where to put each one, and used the £5 voucher on the first two. Brilliant value."

Dev P · 30-minute consult

"Really helpful diagnosis of spider mites and the treatment worked. Only wish the 15-minute slot had been a touch longer — we rushed the last question. Go for 30 if you have more than one plant."

What the Plant Doctor can help with

Yellowing & dropping leaves

Work out whether it's water, light, food or shock — and exactly what to change this week.

Pests & diseases

Identify fungus gnats, spider mites, mealybugs and friends, with a safe treatment plan.

Repotting & root health

When to size up, which compost to use, and how to do it without stressing the plant.

Light & positioning

Match the plants you own (or want) to the light your home actually gets.

Watering routines

Build a simple schedule for your whole collection so nothing gets drowned or forgotten.

Choosing new plants

Planning a shelf, office or jungle corner? Get a shortlist that will thrive in your space.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Which length should I pick?

15 minutes (£25) is plenty for one plant or one clear question — a diagnosis and a plan. Pick 30 minutes (£40) if you have several plants to look at, want a care routine for your whole collection, or you're planning new plants for a space.

How does the £5 voucher work?

After your consultation we email you a single-use £5 voucher code. It works on your next Patch order of any size — plants, pots or accessories — and it doesn't expire for 12 months.

What do I need for the call?

Just a phone, tablet or laptop with a camera. There's nothing to install — your booking confirmation contains a link that opens in the browser. Having the plant nearby (and being able to show the room it lives in) helps a lot.

Can I gift a consultation?

Yes — at checkout, tick "this is a gift" and we'll email the booking link to your recipient with a note from you, ready for them to book whenever suits.

What if my plant came from Patch and isn't thriving?

You may not need to pay at all — every Patch plant comes with free care support and the 30-day Patch Promise. Message us first and we'll take care of you; the paid consultation is for deeper dives and plants from anywhere.
