Common Garden Questions

  • A: First—don’t panic. Plant loss is part of gardening, even for experienced growers. Check watering (most losses are from overwatering), drainage, sun exposure, and recent weather. If you purchased the plant from Green Goddess Gardens, feel free to reach out—I’m always happy to help troubleshoot.

  • A: No guarantees on live plants. Growing conditions vary widely once plants leave my care, and success depends on weather, soil, and care practices. For this reason, all sales of live plants are final. Guidance and troubleshooting support are always available.

  • A: This is often transplant shock. Provide gentle watering, protection from wind and harsh sun, and time. Most plants recover within 3–7 days.

  • A: Most starts should be transplanted within a few days to a week, weather permitting. Avoid letting plants become root-bound and harden off before outdoor planting.

  • A: Smaller plants often establish better and adapt more easily. Big-box plants are frequently over-pushed for fast growth, which can lead to transplant stress later.

  • A: No herbicides, salts, or vinegar-based treatments are used. Plants are grown with soil health and long-term sustainability in mind.

  • A: Plant appearance can vary based on growth stage, environment, and seasonal conditions. Many plants—especially herbs and perennials—look different as seedlings than they do at maturity. If you’re unsure, reach out with a photo and I’m happy to help confirm identification or troubleshoot.

  • A: I use soil-first, low-input growing practices and avoid herbicides, salts, and vinegar-based treatments due to their long-term impact on soil health. While I follow many organic principles, Green Goddess Gardens is not currently certified organic.

  • A: While every effort is made to label and pack plants accurately, mistakes can occasionally happen. If you believe you received the wrong plant, please contact me as soon as possible with a photo and your purchase details so I can help determine next steps.

  • A: Seed germination depends on many factors, including temperature, moisture, light, planting depth, and timing. Some seeds also require stratification or specific conditions to sprout.
    If your seeds were purchased from MIgardener, they stand behind their seed quality and offer germination support when seeds are sown according to their guidelines. I recommend reviewing the instructions on the packet and contacting MIgardener directly if you believe there is a quality issue. I’m also happy to help troubleshoot sowing conditions and timing.
