Bringing a plant home in winter
Most houseplants don't like anything under about 5°C, even for a few minutes. From November to March we wrap every plant in a paper sleeve. Warm the car first and take it straight home.
-
Light first, then water
Most houseplant trouble starts with too little light and too much water. Tell us which way your window faces and we'll point you to plants that suit it. Ask our staff before you repot a struggling plant.
-
Houseplant clinic
Bring a sick plant to the free houseplant clinic on Sunday, October 18, 1 to 3 p.m. No appointment needed.
Hardiness zones: Most of the Peterborough area sits around Canadian hardiness zone 5a to 5b. Low spots, open fields and lakeside lots can run a half zone colder or warmer, so ask our staff about your street before you buy something borderline.
Questions
Asked at the till this week.
Can I bring my own plant to be repotted?
Yes. Bring it in during open hours. Small plants are usually done while you shop; big floor plants may need a day.
What if my new houseplant dies?
Bring it back within 30 days with the receipt (or your phone number) and we'll replace it or give store credit.
Are you open for houseplants in winter?
Yes. Greenhouse 3 is open Thursday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., from January 5 to March 13, 2027.
