The NuLeaf 7-Visit Program
Comprehensive plant care can be complicated. We’ve developed a 7 step program that covers the bases for monitoring your ornamentals, protecting them from ailments, and building the soil so they thrive.
Our 5 step process includes:
- Application 1: We spray your flora with a horticultural oil spray that suffocates overwintering insects and their eggs, giving us a jump on insect control.
- Application 2-5: In the spring, we will fertilize them to provide key nutrients for optimal growth. We will also apply systemic insect control and fungicide to plants susceptible to specific fungal diseases. On this visit, our technicians monitor your plants and apply fungicide, insecticide, and/or miticide if they require them. In the fall, we apply a slow-release fertilizer that feeds your plants for up to 6 months. We will continue monitoring for diseases and make necessary adjustments if needed.
- Round 6: Our technicians will apply a dormant oil to control a variety of insects and fungi to keep your plants safe and healthy.
- Round 7: We apply a Winter Guard anti-desiccant that will keep your plants safe for the winter in the dormant phase so they can flourish in the next upcoming year.
