We’ve had The Hotel Inspector, now it’s the turn of plants…
Is your monstera looking more mysterious than marvellous? Are suspicious leaf spots creeping in?
The UK online houseplant retailer, Beards & Daisies, has unveiled a brand-new service with a twist: introducing The Plant Inspector – a horticultural detective here to crack even the most puzzling plant cases.
At the helm of this leafy investigation unit is Connor Towning, Lead Horticulturist and now resident Plant Inspector. With years of hands-on experience under his belt, and a sharp eye for detail, Connor’s on a mission to identify the culprits behind your plant problems, from yellowing leaves and droopy stems to pest invasions and potting predicaments. Nothing escapes his inspection bench.
Through this new service,customers can now book one-on-one consultations with The Plant Inspector himself. Each appointment is a deep dive into your plant’s environment, health, and care routine – a full forensic analysis designed to get to the root of the issue. Whether you’re caring for a single struggling succulent or wrangling a wild indoor jungle, Connor offers tailored, actionable advice to help your greenery thrive.
“The Plant Inspector was created to give our customers expert, ongoing support beyond the purchase button,” says Jo Lambell, founder of Beards & Daisies. “We want every plant to thrive long after it arrives in your home – and this is a fun, personalised way to make that happen.”
This new initiative reflects Beards & Daisies’ commitment to making plant care accessible, approachable, and backed by real expertise. It’s not just about diagnosing what’s wrong — it’s about teaching customers to have confidence and knowledge to grow healthy, happy houseplants.
Connor Towning has been part of the Beards & Daisies journey from the early days, and brings not only deep horticultural knowledge, but a true passion for plant care to his new detective duties. Think your plant’s in peril? The Plant Inspector is ready to investigate.
