Why this number. Sell the monthly contract, not one-off visits, because recurring revenue is the whole point. Include a guarantee that you replace any plant that dies on your watch, which removes the client's main objection and locks in the retainer.

How much should I charge for interior plant care?+
Most interior plant care is priced $100–$1,500 per month, with a typical rate around $350 per month. Where you land inside that range comes down mainly to number and size of plants and visit frequency (weekly vs biweekly). Use the range as your anchor, then adjust up for experience, strong demand, and a higher cost-of-living area.
Should I charge for interior plant care monthly or per project?+
interior plant care is usually billed as a monthly retainer rather than per hour or per one-off project. A retainer gives you predictable income and the client a predictable cost. The one rule: define exactly what the retainer includes up front, or the scope will quietly expand on you.
How much should I charge for interior plant care as a beginner?+
Starting out, price near the lower end of the range, roughly $100 to $350 per month. Resist going below that to win work: a price that is too low attracts price-shoppers, signals low quality, and is hard to raise later. Once you have a few happy clients and reviews, move toward $1,500.
What affects how much interior plant care costs?+
The biggest factors are number and size of plants; visit frequency (weekly vs biweekly); whether plants are leased or client-owned; replacements and seasonal rotations included. Two jobs that look alike can price very differently once these are accounted for, which is why a quick walkthrough or a few questions before quoting protects your rate.
How do I quote interior plant care so the client says yes?+
Sell the monthly contract, not one-off visits, because recurring revenue is the whole point. Include a guarantee that you replace any plant that dies on your watch, which removes the client's main objection and locks in the retainer. Put the quote in writing with exactly what is included, state the price once without apologizing for it, and give one clear next step. A confident, well-structured quote wins jobs at a higher price than a vague one at a lower price.
