A nursery field note about plant identity, visible condition, and choosing for the place a plant will live.
Nursery field note
Vellum Nursery
A closer look at the observations that matter when a nursery-grown plant is considered for a new space.
Read the plant, not only the label
A useful selection begins with identity and continues through visible condition, growing context, and fit with the destination.
Look at foliage from several angles, notice active growth, consider the stability of the root zone, and ask how the plant has been growing. Then compare those observations with the light, space, and routines available in its next environment.
Before choosing
Questions worth carrying into any nursery
What is changing?
Look for active growth, stable posture, and any signs that deserve a closer check.
How is it growing?
Consider the growing medium, drainage, moisture, and the conditions the plant knows now.
Where will it live?
Choose for the actual room and routine rather than for appearance alone.
