Completely hands-off. We even water — and replace, free, anything that fails under our care. Total peace of mind for people who want zero involvement.
Total Shield exists for people who do not want to think about their plants at all. We take on the day-to-day, including watering on a set schedule, so the only thing the space asks of you is that you look at it.
The guarantee is the part that matters most. Under Shield, replacements are supplied at cost. Under Total Shield, if a plant dies while under our care, we replace it free. Plant health becomes fully our accountability rather than a shared one — which is the only honest version of a hands-off plan.
It depends on one question: will someone reliably water the plants? If yes, Shield covers everything that needs expertise at a materially lower monthly cost. If nobody will — a second home, a busy office, frequent travel — then the free-replacement guarantee usually pays for itself, because unwatered plants fail quickly and replacing them at cost adds up.
Either plan assumes the plantscape exists. If it does not yet, start at The Setup.
