My plants are having issues. What do I do?

If you are struggling to keep your plants alive and thriving, you're not alone! Some plants can be especially finnicky. Additionally, pests can complicate care for your plant. If you are experiencing issues and are seeking advice, please email us at gardening@apacheseeds.ca with a picture and description of your plants or pests. If you plan on coming in to store, please clip a leaf or portion of your plant that seems to be afflicted for better advice.
