January Meeting: An Engineer's Approach to Houseplant Care (Darryl Cheng)

HAPPY NEW YEAR, HORT MEMBERS!

Kicking off 2026 with our monthly speaker - DARRYL CHENG: 

AN ENGINEER'S APPROACH TO HOUSEPLANT CARE

If you follow traditional houseplant advice, you'll be left with disappointment because your plant is no longer "perfect". Darryl's approach breaks down the barriers to true, long-lasting enjoyment of houseplants - when you understand how plants work, you can gain a deeper appreciation for their character and more acceptance of how they'll grow. It's a healthy dose of practical science and realistic expectations!

• A Hort Plant Swap! Bring a plant, take a plant.

• Darryl will bring copies of  his books and light meters to sell.
