Intrigued as to what an orchid doctor does, I looked it up myself. Sure enough, this gentleman was a long-time orchidaceae grower in Virginia who specialized in plant boarding people\u2019s orchids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally, he only grew and sold his plants, but after a few people began asking him to maintain their flowerless <a aria-label=\"orchids (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newprocontainers.com\/blog\/top-tips-for-raising-healthy-orchids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">orchids<\/a>, his efforts developed into an entire greenhouse full of boarded plants. Charging $2.00 a month, he now profits more from this business than from growing his own.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Making good money boarding plants? This idea surprised even me! I\u2019ve seen how attached people can get to their office plants. I\u2019ve experienced company executives (mostly men, for some reason) refuse to allow me to change out their ficus tree or reflexa, even when they resembled a twig more than a plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve also been paid to help revive personal plants\nthat were given by a spouse or inherited from a deceased loved one. But,\nkeeping the plant and actually boarding it is something I have never considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plant Sitting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the housing boom, several clients hired me to\nplant sit while they vacationed, but I always went to them to service. Luckily,\nthat one to three-week span was easy to keep everything alive and happy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The worse plant sitting incident that happened was pulling into my client\u2019s circular driveway and seeing all the gorgeous flowers gone from two massive\u2014and very expensive\u2014urns flanking the front entrance. Three days before, the blooms were full and healthy. Now, it looked like someone had taken hedge clippers and chopped off every flower, leaving just the stems.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I\u2019m freaking out over the replacement cost, I\nnotice a group of kids playing down the street. The only thing I could fathom\nwas bored kids playing a joke. I was ready to go down there, knock on the door,\nand rat them out to their parents or, more likely, the nanny. It bothered me\nall day as I tried to figure out how I would explain this situation. There wasn\u2019t\na single flower left on the ground, which seemed implausible if kids did it.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newprocontainers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/plant-boarding-deer-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"plant boarding deer\" class=\"wp-image-10377\" style=\"width:256px;height:144px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.newprocontainers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/plant-boarding-deer-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.newprocontainers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/plant-boarding-deer-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.newprocontainers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/plant-boarding-deer-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Driving home, I almost hit my answer. Two deer were standing by the road, and thankfully, they decided to stay put instead of running out. I had my culprit\u2014deer. This neighborhood was a newly built development in an area known for wildlife, especially deer. Thank goodness I didn\u2019t run down those kids and accuse them of destroying my client\u2019s flowers like I wanted to do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plant Boarding Interview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From my experiences, taking on the responsibility of caring for someone\u2019s prized foliage can be tumultuous and risky, especially if you cannot replace it. I wondered what the orchid doctor did in this situation? Did he replace the client\u2019s orchid with a new one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I watched the <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iLVBTYDFKsk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">video interview<\/a>, it showed the orchid doctor calling a customer to inform her that, after six years of boarding, her orchid would never bloom. Instead of being irate, she asked him to bury it for her. I doubt most customers would be so accepting after paying for years of care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To me, calling clients with disappointing news would be the most difficult part of the job. Like a veterinarian informing a client that you did all you could to save their beloved pet, such news has to be emotionally draining. Especially after you tell them their pet is deceased and hand them the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plant Boarding Greenhouse<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newprocontainers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/plant-boarding-orchid-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"plant boarding orchid\" class=\"wp-image-10378\" style=\"width:256px;height:171px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.newprocontainers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/plant-boarding-orchid-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.newprocontainers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/plant-boarding-orchid-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.newprocontainers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/plant-boarding-orchid-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Another advantage the orchid doctor has in his favor is the right facility and staff to handle boarding. There\u2019s an important reason why most interiorscape companies outsource their foliage inventory to commercial greenhouses. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newprocontainers.com\/blog\/grow-tropical-plants-greenhouse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maintaining a greenhouse<\/a> requires daily work and dedication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first entered the horticulture business working for North Florida\u2019s largest ornamental grower, I was shocked to learn that at least one of the twenty head growers had to be on site every day of the week, including weekends and holidays. I had no idea that a plant you watered once a week had to be monitored 365 days a year. Maintaining plants indoors takes much less effort. If you are willing to deal with the emotional repercussions, managing the right facility and the extra staff, plant boarding could be the next horticulture trend. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While visiting my daughter, she told me about a news story she watched about an orchid doctor.
